It depends on the situation and the circumstances. A gallon of water on your bathroom floor is a flood. You can have flood lights that illuminate your yard. The doctor will flood your eye with water if you have a foreign object in it.

We once had a flood in Iraq that was the result of a 1 inch rain. Since the water couldn't soak into the hard-baked soil, it caused lots of problems. That same 1 inch of rain in Oregon would be an everyday occurrence.

The best answer is that a flood is more water than usual and there is so much that it causes inconvenience, up to and including property damage.
