"plains fertilized by annual inundations"
"a flood of requests" "a torrent of abuse"
"a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
"the basement was inundated after the storm" "The images flooded his mind"
"The swollen river flooded the village" "The broken vein had flooded blood in her eyes"
"flood the market with tennis shoes" "Glut the country with cheap imports from the Orient"
"Our basement flooded during the heavy rains"
