. There really is a reason that 150+ cultures have a flood "myth" is because it is not a myt

If we still lived in oral history times, Houston would have created two flood myths in the last two decades.

I suggest flood myths are common because flooding is common, and without technology you have no way of knowing a local flood was not global.

Yes, but not the kind of flooding that causes sea level to rise roughly a hundred feet when a large part of the North American icecap melted 12,800 years ago. Now that's a flood.
