This blog usually discusses a metaphorical flood of information.
Here's a literal one.
In March 2009 a helicopter carrying workers to an offshore oil rig crashed off Newfoundland. Robert Decker was seriously injured but survived. Seventeen others died.
Now Decker describes the crash to a public inquiry.
Can you imagine dealing with the flood of information created by a helicopter crash in the frigid North Atlantic Ocean?
I can't.
