There wouldn't be much wind after 40 days of steady rain over all or most of the earth.
Steady rain..? You think that it was just a usual average steady rain..? You need to look at pictures that accurately show what a deluge of water is.
And you don't sound like you're sure that it was all of the earth? Nothing could stop the furious flow of water. The amount is greater than multiplied storms of torrential rain has ever given. Rain like that at the force that it came down creates furious winds. Or haven't you ever watched videos of a hurricane.. if you haven't actually been in one.
Temperature and air pressure would have equalized by then.
After the furious deluge.. no doubt about it. But in spite of your choosing to ignore the effects of a deluge I'm still talking about it.
The main flood waters came in about as fast as daily tides, not like a huge tsunami.
Tides only happen when there's dry land. Tides don't have the strong force that the deluge had. You're still using usual average flow of water to make your claims.
The flood of Noah made sure that all dry land was quickly turned to thick mud and several feet in depth. That could be another reason why water creatures died as well as land creatures. They took in muddy water instead of clear water.
A tsunami doesn't come anywhere near equal to that of a furious deluge of water that quickly covers the land. It would happen faster than any tsunami that has occurred post-Noah's flood.
They would cause little erosion over fairly flat ground covered with heavy vegetation.
The fast flowing water coming out of a fire hydrant can uproot vegetation and grass.. so a furious deluge by sheer unmeasurable volume can push any earth and rocks, trees and anything out of it's way.. and pile them up into mountains and carve out deep valleys. That's definitely more damage than some by comparison minor erosion.
And when the water gets deeper it would slow or even stop moving altogether at ground level as the flood ascended the land.
What ground level?, what land..? It was quickly and completely submerged under all that furious water. Nothing to indicate if the ark was even in the same geographical location where the ark had been built. Most likely it was on a large area of flat land, but they finally landed on a mountain. Who knows how far they were carried along in distance from their original spot of land by the fast moving waters?
A deluge would have been described this way. With such a forceful downpour the sinners of Noah's flood would of been knocked to the ground and pelted so hard that it would've opened up their skin. Or try the needles and pins setting in your shower some time. Or do a google search for images designated deluge force. If anyone did try to stand in it they'd be immediately pushed down to the ground.
The sinners of Noah's flood couldn't of run for safety, because the downpour upon them was holding them to the ground, to raise up even a little bit for most of them weakened by inability to get a decent breath of air, it would been like trying to lift up the upper level of roadway that fell on the cars of the lower level during the California earthquake.
All the sinners of Noah's flood could do was drown because they couldn't get air, all they breathed in would be the water.
Not only that but there was also the fountains of the deep that burst open and spewed out more water. Now with all of that going on, plus the deluge from above.. there's no way that it could have been described as less than a tsunami effect as you claim was all that it was.
The calm happened only when the deluge was over.
