Is the Noah story a corrupted memory of an actual historical event?

Another half-baked theory :

Thousands of years ago a wall of seawater surged from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea through the Bosphorus strait causing massive flooding. The memory of this event would eventually congeal into the Gilgamesh/Noah story. #BlackSeaDelugeTheory

Read more about it here, but don't miss the debunking here. Neither the archaeology nor the paleontology seem to offer sufficient support.
