I, for one, would settle for the tiniest bit of physical evidence. Got any?since there is little or no physical evidence for global flood, there would be even less for a localized flood (but still comparatively enormous to other alluvial floods. although massive it only lasted a mere year. a major flood of such a brief duration typically doesn't leave substantial deposits to be positively identified approx. 40 th's. years ago.
But from a geographically perspective other indicators for noah's flood's timing, location and extent go exist. evidence of a thriving civilization developed in the middle east gulf area. from a geographical perspective the region makes sense as the region were the flood occurred --- high mountains surround it, huge aquifers reside under it. ice covered north America, Europe, etc making the global sea lower leaving much of the Persian gulf and red sea dry.
there are some scientific provocative data that makes the case using genetic data that traces the migration pattern around the world, the beginning of that migration has a nexus in that region at that time.
