This morning the little creek that borders my land is running like a roaring freight train,and is carrying a lot of dirt and debris. normally only a foot or two deep and maybe ten feet wide is is out of its banks and running a couple hundred feet wide ! All because of about six hours of intense rainstroms in the area;now think about what 40 days and 40 nights of rain might do!!!
Or, spend a Summer in Maine and find out.
It wasn’t just rain. Underground water was released as well:
“all the springs of the great deep burst forth”
In other words, a lot of water previously contained beneath the ground and/or the sea was released. I wonder if the world wasn’t a lot flatter prior to The Flood? Perhaps the bursting open of underground springs resulted in shifting land masses on a massive scale. The top of Mt. Everest is marine limestone. Something to think about.
