(edit)

I think title and description may be wrong

"The 2016 Ellicott City cloudburst was deemed* a “thousand-year rain event” in terms of the probability of recurrence. That an event of this magnitude unfolded in the same spot, two years later, is what it is"

Animals can't sin, it isn't about right or wrong for them. The passage states the way of all flesh had been corrupted..that could mean a number of things, but it isnt expressly said what that meant for animals. I think God might correct an animals behavior since it doesn't have free choice, personally. An animal doesn't have rights, they were put here under the dominion of human beings, for our benefit.

We're all born with a sin nature, so there isn't such a thing as an innocent person, child or not. I think it is to say that the world was so bent on evil at that point that they wouldn't have a chance. As far as where the water came from, it also came from underground. Here is one underground ocean that was discovered:

As silly as that statement is that all animals had become wicked...it can't be true according to the story since Noah and his crew had to collect a bunch to be saved.
You believe that all the children and all the infants were not evil but destined to be evil? Now what happened to this "freedom" that God gave them?
The reset button? Now that IS something I think an omnipotent being would be capable of. With one flip of the almighty reset button all the wicked men, women, and animals would be dead...gone...turned to dust. But this whole Noah has to build a big ass boat and collect all the species of the planet and then a rainstorm that floods the ENTIRE earth...even covering the tallest mountain? Have you even thought of how much water that is? That doesn't sound like the work of an omnipotent being. It sounds like a campfire story created by primitive men.>> ^shinyblurry:
It says all flesh, which would include animals. At that point the entire world had been overtaken by wickedness, so the children of the time were destined to grow up even worse than their parents. The animals, too, had their ways corrupted by their close contact with human beings. Basically, evil had reached a point of total saturation and God hit the reset button.
>> ^Grimm:
So you actually believe the was a point in time that EVERY living human was evil? Every man, woman, child and infant except for a single family?
Also why the need for this omnipotent being to destroy all living animals on the planet as well?

Bah! Humbug!

Out of tune! Ear carnage! There are much better choral performances that can't even get sifted. I want to downvote on principle, but I'm trying to resist.

The rainstorm part is cool, but I've seen choirs do similar things many times. It's not all that inventive. The thunder was very well done, though.

Darwin actually wrote about this in "The formation of vegetable mould through the action of worms with observation on their habits" in 1881. Tinbergen also wrote about this when describing a foot stomping technique used by the herring gull to harvest worms. And if that wasn't enough, turtles do it too!
neat stuff.

edit- Oh, and major hypotheses for why worms do this:
1) To avoid predatory moles signaling with seismic vibration or digging.
2) To avoid drowning during a rainstorm, or to disperse on the surface when it is still wet from rain.

we used to simulate rainstorms like this at summer camp around the fire

They look like ants in a rainstorm.

'Rainstorms lash southern China'
