Well, there's no precise count. Flood stories exist in various mythologies and literatures around the world. Some are well-known, while others might be lesser-known within specific regions or communities.
I'm not sure of an exact count. But there are many great flood stories in different religions, folklore, and cultural traditions. They vary in details but share the common theme of a catastrophic flood.
Quite a few. Cultures like Mesopotamian, Chinese, and Hindu have flood stories in their mythologies.

Many cultures have great flood stories. Some of the prominent ones include those from Mesopotamia, Judaism, and Chinese mythology. These stories often reflect people's fears and explanations of natural disasters in different times and regions.
The Gilgamesh flood story has some similarities to other flood stories. For example, like the Noah's Ark story, there is a chosen person (Utnapishtim in Gilgamesh and Noah in the Bible) who is warned by a divine being about the flood. They both build a large vessel to save themselves, their families, and animals. However, the cultural and religious contexts are different. In the Gilgamesh story, it is part of the Mesopotamian mythology, while the Noah's Ark is from the Judeo - Christian tradition.
The First Nations flood story has its own unique characteristics compared to other flood stories. For one, it is deeply rooted in the specific cultures and beliefs of the First Nations. It often has a stronger connection to the land and nature compared to some other flood stories from different cultures which may have more of a religious or mythological focus not directly related to the land in the same way.

One of the best Houston flood stories was during Hurricane Harvey. There was a family who got trapped in their attic. As the water rose, they thought all was lost. But then, a neighbor in a boat came by just in time to rescue them. It was a heart - stopping moment for them and a story of great hope and community spirit.
I'm not sure specifically which 'flood top stories' you're referring to. There could be many. It might be about the most significant flood events in a particular area, like the flood top stories in a coastal town could involve tales of how high the water rose, which buildings were damaged, and how the local community coped.
