That's a lot of water! and I suppose one possible interpretation of the 'fountains of the great deep' (see below).
Disclaimer: I do not endorse this interpretation. Just food for thought.

Ok! That was quite interesting....
I was very impressed at a Sperry Symposium when a speaker regarding this subject remarked; “…we really don’t have the complete narrative details on what transpired before, during, and post deluge. Many attempts have been made to find other references of the Great Deluge to add further clarity to what geological events were enforced during this time period….”
I do note, even Hugh B. Nibley searched for years on this very topic. Two items that I found in his talks or articles, there was a great freeze at the end of Noah’s journey and something to the effect the location of building the ark was the Carolinas. My quest in forming my own testimony of this great debate years ago, was to answer a question from another church, what happened to the fresh water fish? After exhausting 18-months of research and prayer, I finally could go to the individual and answer that question. Even I was exceedingly surprised.
