RE: [asa] The Fall of man (Adamites- the local/global flood question)

Let's say there was a grand local flood- how long would you be adrift in
an ark before you saw land? It doesn't seem like long (1 or 2 days?),
unless you got blown out into the ocean for an excursion... ;-)

The Bible says the flood lasted for a year, and then things "started" to
clear up.

Others may correct me if I'm wrong, but whenever we
refer to a "local" flood, I think the general view is
that it was *regional* in scale, such that no nearby
land (i.e. land that might have been easily reached
while lugging your entire family and livelihood and
two of each of the local creatures along with you)
would be available...say for example, flooding on the
(geographic) scale of what's going on in the midwest
right now, where several hundred (thousand?) square
miles are inundated. That kind of flooding didn't
happen overnight, but its widespread and severe enough
that I'm sure a lot of people there would appreciate
(and need) an ark of some sort right now.
