Yeah, I've seen a couple of programs saying the melting of the ice caused the sea to rise causing a breach into the Black Sea of waters from the Mediterranean Sea. One said the huge Lake in Manitoba drained into the Hudson's Bay causing the flood when the last ice age ended.

The last major shift in drainage occurred around 8,200 years ago. The melting of remaining Hudson Bay ice caused Lake Agassiz to drain nearly completely. This final drainage of Lake Agassiz is associated with an estimated 0.8 to 2.8 m (2.6 to 9.2 ft) rise in global sea levels.[7]

Like a lot of stories in the Bible, the great flood is hugely exaggerated but could be based on some history.
