bombarded
Hit with projectiles
Bombarded is the past tense of bombard, meaning to attack with artillery fire or explosives: The city was bombarded for three days.
More commonly now, it describes being overwhelmed with a barrage of something—questions, requests, information, criticism: She was bombarded with emails after the announcement.
The figurative sense suggests relentless, exhausting volume.
