1400 years ago nobody knew about flash floods; however it was portrayed in the Quran.
In a flash flood loose objects are swept by the flood.
In a flash flood loose objects are swept by the flood but wood always floats on top. this was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
He sends down water from the sky, and riverbeds flow according to their capacity. The current carries swelling froth and from what they burn for fire, to make ornaments or utensils comes a similar froth. Thus Allah exemplifies truth and falsehood. As for the froth, it is swept away, but what benefits the people remains in the ground. Thus Allah presents the analogies.
١٧ أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَابِيًا ۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَاءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِثْلُهُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ
"What they burn for fire" is wood. So the water current carries wood on top. Today we know what this is, it is a flash flood. However there is no such thing in Arabia.
