What is the worst flood in history?
Searching with Google, as far as death count it looks like the 1931 China flood might have been the worst. It's hard for me to imagine any flood where over 1 million humans died. But there were several. There was no mention of a Noah's flood that I could find. I'm guessing because that story is not history related.

Google is science based.

The Flood was miracle based.

Okay.

But there were several.

Okay.

You're welcome to vote.

What happened here >

Jeremiah 46:7-8

King James Version

7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith,

I will go up, and will cover the earth;

I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

Feel free to vote, if you want to.
Huh? Why? Did voting , or rather did the 'system' of voting, ever result in anything good? It seems to have spurred more contention and division and strife than ever. And all along, God's Way was and remains better for all.

Vote please.


It's the American thing to do.

Did voting , or rather did the 'system' of voting, ever result in anything good?

Ya -- it gave us the Bill of Rights.

Not to mention the 19th Amendment.

It seems to have spurred more contention and division and strife than ever.

That's to be expected.

And all along, God's Way was and remains better for all.

Absolutely one hundred percent correct!

Now go vote.

Please. :)

'Worst' is not well-defined, but I go with

Zanclean flood

Under such a scenario, a peak discharge of over 100,000,000 cubic metres per second (3.5×109 cu ft/s) occurred with water velocities of over 40 metres per second (130 ft/s) [88 mph]; such flow rates are about a thousand times larger than the discharge of the Amazon River and ten times as much as the Missoula Floods.

To be fair, I think he might be going with death toll.

Or not. It's hard to tell with AV what he really means.

He replied what he means.

When someone wants to know, ask, and receive.

Most someones never ask the Creator His Meaning about anything.

So most someones never know ...... unless/until HE reveals to them....

You are correct.
If looking only at the death count and if going with the Noah's Flood story, how many people were drowned by that Biblically recorded event? I'm hard pressed to believe that more people would be alive on the earth at that time then were killed by the China 1931 flood.

Well, I don't really know.

So let's look at it this way:

99.999% of the world's population.

"Worst" in this case being mitigated by the fact that it was an intentional act of an omnibenevolent being... or so the story goes.
