flood top stories

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.

One of the top stories could be about the areas most severely affected by flash floods. For example, if a small town has been hit hard, stories might detail the damage to homes and local infrastructure.

One flood top story could be about a major flood in a big city where the subway system was completely flooded. People were trapped in the trains and it took a huge effort to rescue them all.

You can find them on news websites like CNN or BBC. They usually have a dedicated section for weather - related disasters, where flash flood warnings and related top stories will be covered.

A dog was stranded on a roof during a flood. A firefighter risked his life to swim over and rescue the dog. It was a simple yet heroic act that made headlines.

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.

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.

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.

One origin could be from actual large - scale floods that occurred in pre - historic times. For example, the end of the last Ice Age might have led to significant flooding as ice melted. Communities that experienced these floods passed down the stories through generations, which got modified over time.

Books like 'The Storm' by Virginia Bergin and 'Floodland' by Marcus Sedgwick incorporate flood stories. 'The Storm' focuses on the survival of characters during a flood, while 'Floodland' creates a post-apocalyptic world due to a massive flood.
