Genesis 7:11 - In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
"Fountains of the great deep" - See Psalm 33:7. Not simply rain produced the Flood, but seismic activity releasing massive underground water. The entire landscape would be significantly changed as a result.
"The windows of heaven" - Hebrew means lattice-work, network, interweaving. And so the canopy of mist shrouding the earth was piereced.
