Various descriptions and terms have been used to describe the great flood. It has been called variously, 'the Flood of Noah', 'Noah's Flood', 'The Deluge', a 'Cataclysm', or simply 'The Flood' as distinct from any particular local flood. Interestingly, the Hebrew word 'mabul' also makes this distinction in that it is a word which includes all of the above meanings, as distinct from any local flood, no matter how great and devastating.

Did the great flood occur before or after the destruction of sodom?

The Great Flood, as described in the Bible, is traditionally understood to have occurred before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Therefore, the Great Flood predates the events surrounding Sodom's destruction.

Was noah who built the ark a real person?

Scientists tell us conclusively that there never was a great Flood as described in the Bible. And they tell us that the Flood as described would be physically impossible. Scholars tell us that the biblical story of Noah and his Ark is very similar to the flood story in the much older Epic of Gilgamesh. For these and many other reasons, we can say with certainty that Noah was not a real person.
