Let's round off the increase in water to 30,000 feet.
It comes down in 40 days. That's 750 feet per day, or 9000 inches.
Would you call that phenomena rain ? It rains more in an hour than it rains in the rainiest place on earth (Hawaii) in an ENTIRE year.
Hell, your freaking shower head doesn't put out water that fast.
Any eyewitness to precip like that would not use the word 'rain' to describe it. and how the hell would you dry it up? Even the hottest most parched and forsaken deserts don't evaporate water any where close to as fast as the Bible describes either. The earth could make an astonishingly close pass to the sun and still not receive enough BTUs to evap that much water.
Oh, yeah, and as previously noted, the Egyptians missed out on it too.
Maybe it didn't fucking happen ?
The rainfall would be a little over 6 inches per minute.
At that rate, it doesn't really qualify as 'rainfall'. A better analogy would be having a medium-sized lake dropped on you all at once.
