Lowland areas flood, even catastrophically, that's a given. Hell, you could practically set your sundial by the annual Nile floods.
What there isn't evidence of is a civilization-ending deluge. When we start talking about regional floods, we aren't talking about the same thing as what the fundy literalists are talking about.
