...but the stench of flooding has a lot to do with microorganisms in the mud. All that soil washed downhill is full of soil microbes, e.g., and exposed to air the aerobes blooom as and anaerobes (usually underground or underwater) die. Then there's all the life in that soil--lil bugs and creatures and such.

And wildlife.
Rot stinks, it's not just bodies.
