Could the story of the flood come from the flooding of the black sea? And a earlier civilization that seems to have been centered around the banks of the large fresh water lake that was there before the Mediterranean over it flooded it? And was so catastrophic to people of the area

Yes, this seems to be the most satisfying NON Mythological answer.
It is really amazing what is being discovered now.
Of course, some will always prefer ignorance.

You answered your own question when you said catastrophic to people of the area. Noah's flood was a global catastrophic flood that affected every living thing. Not just one area.

My friend, the Flood of Noah (who lived to the age of 950 years) consumed ALL the Earth and destroyed all living things on the land except those that mounted the Ark with the Messenger of God Noah.
You can be sure that is the truth.

Noah's flood covered the tops of all the mountains - thus it had to be global.

No - the earth was flooded and there is geological and archaeological proof. And the ark is on Mt. Ararat.

It's an interesting theory, but I doubt it.
