For someone to claim the flood was justified is to justify torture not only on top of being mass genocide. And a very hypocritical thing for an "all loving" god to do if one is going to claim he is "all powerful" and "poofed" everything into existence. Why all the drama? It would seem to me that you would be compassionate about punishment instead of an act of revenge which is what the flood story depicts.
There was great evil in Noah's Day. God is the giver of life and He also can allow it to be taken away. Sin is a very serious thing to God.
