18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days (Genesis 7:18-24).
Water covered the whole earth including the mountains during the flood. The flood caused massive destruction, death, and rapid burial of debris. Millions of creatures and people were destroyed in a very short period of time. It is a fearful thing to be under judgment by God. Only Noah and his family survived the flood. There is just no way of rectifying this situation with our idea fairness. But God is just and therefore all His actions, no matter how disagreeable they are to us, are holy.
