Every year in many parts of the world we see monsoons and rainy seasons that last longer than 40 days and 40 nights. From those can we determine things like erosion rates, topography changes, effects on major structures such as mountains?
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Of course we can establish baseline data.
Then the question arises of comparing the rates of rainfall, which becomes problematic when the rate of rainfall for the flood is not given: it could be any rate, as the "fountains of the deep" can explain the amount of water.
But could those factors be calculated and are they relevant?
We know that the various monsoons have been going on since long before the folk that believe there was a Biblical flood date the flood and that the Biblical flood myths have rain for only 40 days and 40 nights. So if we look at things like erosion during monsoon seasons over thousands of year, many orders of magnitude longer than 40 days and 40 nights, would that not exceed the volume described in the Biblical stories?

To what end? Anything we find would bring genisis into further dispute and would thus be ignored by the faithful. The rest of us already know.
