Deluge
Biblical water apocalypse
A deluge is an overwhelming flood or downpour.
The word often describes torrential rain: The deluge turned streets into rivers.
Figuratively, a deluge is any overwhelming quantity: a deluge of emails, a deluge of criticism.
Capitalized, the Deluge refers to the biblical flood survived by Noah.
To deluge is to flood or overwhelm: Fans deluged the station with requests.
