It was not an hurricane. How much water is this:
"...the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." -- Genesis 7:10
"And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." -- Genesis 7:12The mountains that you claim are 16K feet high are described as
"And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered." -- Genesis 7:19
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen." -- Genesis 8:5
"And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat." --Genesis 8:4An ark that is the size of the one Noah built cannot float in 22' water.
"...and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth." --Genesis 7:17bWhen you read "fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail;" the next part tells you from where: "and the mountains were covered." -- Genesis 7:24
Forty days and nights from the fountains of the great deep. Now that's a lot of rain.
