Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Flood"

A: hmm depends on the context. It could mean that we won’t overwhelm you or send you a lot of a particular item.

Examples:
- We will not flood your inbox (We will not send you a lot of emails)
- We won’t flood your instant messenger (We won’t send you a lot of text messages)

A: example.. days and days of rain, a river or a lake where all the rain is flowing into makes the water go over the banks and flood over the land nearby

A: Since 2000. Worst flood WITHIN the last century, is the last 100 years

A: Minor = small, fairly insignificant

Major = large, possibly very serious

Moderate = some where in between the first two; medium strength; not too much and not too little

A: I don't see the word "too." But here, "flood" presumably means "flood," NOT JUST "heavy rain." Obviously, heavy rains can _cause_ flooding. But an area can be flooded with having had _any_ rain there at all -- say, because there was significant rain _upstream_, that put water into tributaries. So flooding can occur downstream, even far downstream, from where it's raining -- and indeed, often does. That's why people sometimes warn against flash flooding even in places where it's not raining. Or flooding can result from snowmelt. The Red River in Minnesota and the Dakotas and Canada often floods in the spring. It's not because of rain. It's because the river drains north, so the water from the melted snow and ice can't escape, and it floods. And people often die in floods. Flood waters are often fast and turbulent and muddy. The water level might be 10 meters or more above the usual water level; or it might extend for kilometers across shallow ground, leaving a non-swimmer no way out. A flood doesn't just mean necessarily a foot or so of water on a sidewalk or road; it can mean a lot more.
