I think your translation of is quite accurate. It makes sense to me.
occurs in reference to Thamud and 'Aad in chapter 69. According to professor Eisenmann (an expert on the dead sea scrolls), Thamud and 'Aad refer to Edessa ('Aad) and the conversion of that place to christianity by the apostle Thomas (Thamud). Edessa became an important centre of syriac christianity very early on (mass conversions). In 201 the city was devastated by a great flood. This is what Quran is referring to. The flood is explained in the Quran as a local apocalypse- a preview of judgment day if you like, similar to that of sodom and gomorrah - a punishment from God for those who rejected and turned back.
This is a very brief summary of Eisenmans understanding, if you are interested in a more elaborate explanation of 'Aad and Thamud go to this link
I think the rest of your translation fares poorly. You removed the obvious references to Hell and Hellfire which are by principle always key elements in the quranic accounts of destruction and apocalypse. Quran uses natural disaster repetitively as metaphors for hell/apocalypse/judgment day.

In what way is your post of any relevance to the butchered meaning in the OP's invented translation?
You are just promoting your garbaggio and it would seem you still have no grasp over Quran.
You are confused, lost not even a Muslim at that trying to misguide readers.
If you are back on the same deceitful track I'm going to God willing route you out of here as I did at Lucideans
