According to the Book of Genesis, the great Flood of Noah occured about 1656 years after creation, or about 4,300 years ago. However, scientists say there never was a worldwide flood as described in the Bible. Moreover, they say, there is not enough water in the world for this flood to actually happen.: Genesis 7:6 says that Noah was 600 years old when the Flood began. The story of Noah was easy to remember and pass on orally, as his first son was born when he was 500 year â¦ s old, the Flood came when he was 600 years old and he died at the age of 950 years. + 3 others found this useful.
One cause of floods can be forecast months in advance--snow. Sometimes the ground is too hard or too wet to soak up water. The only place the rain can go is downstream. Usually rainfall of more than one inch in one hour is needed to cause a flash flood. Sometimes a place can get hit by a flash flood even if it's sunny because it might be raining on higher ground somewhere. The floods in Poland this summer weren't flash floods. They were caused by heavy rainfall but the rain was spread out over days. So much rain fell that the rivers couldn't handle all the water.
