I think it should be "floods", not "flood".
"I was in floods of tears when we broke up"? I seriously never ever heard anyone say that. :?:Yes, "floods of tears" is a common expression. I indicates that the person is very upset.
I've never been to the North Pole, but I know it's damned cold there ^^"I was in floods of tears when we broke up"? I seriously never ever heard anyone say that. :?:

To be "in floods of tears" is common enough in BrE. It's probably the climate that does it.;-)As much as I appreciate snark, I just don't believe this is a common expression.
Will keep my ears open for it from now on.
