That’s merely 29 inches of rain over 4 days. At that pitiful rate of precipitation the Noah’s flood will take 131 years of unbroken vigorous raining to drown the tallest mountain.
The troposphere can hold about one inch of water in suspension as vapor. If it rains more than that in one spot, then you're talking about streams of air that are transporting the water vapor...one such stream is called the Pineapple Express. But you never see that for the whole planet, obviously, except in Yahweh fan fiction.
