Does the Hebrew word bara mean to create from nothing?

[TonyChanYT]

Genesis 1:

1 In the beginning God created [G1254 בָּרָא bara] the heavens and the earth.

Does the Hebrew word bara mean to create from nothing?

Not always, Genesis 6:

7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created [G1254 בָּרָא bara]—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
