CCC already said that he thinks science is mostly right about the history of the universe, so presumably he does not believe such a flood ever happened.

Many Christians believe that such a flood never happened without thinking that the Bible is "definitely wrong" and without thinking that they believe in a God who is "not the God of the Bible."

Oh ye of little faith!

Global floods certainly happened in human history. What do you think happened to sea levels at the end of the last Ice Age (and humans were already around)?

There are claims that memories of such a flood are preserved in legends and stories in Australia, for example.

It doesn't even have to be a global flood: a big enough tsunami will suffice.
