The Flood certainly occurred, else St. Peter would have been referring to a fiction when he wrote:

1 Pet. 3:20
…in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.

 

2 Pet. 2:5
And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.

cf. Sacræ Theologiæ Summa IB: Church of Christ, Holy Scripture p. 662, On the Absolute Truth of Holy Scripture, § 181. "Notes for the Solution of the 'Biblical Question'"
