Not to mention the fact that he was describing an event the best he could. Probably very scard seeing whatever he saw too. I was 13 years old and seen a tornado about a half mile to a mile from me at best. I can tell you seeing it up close was scary and it did appear quite gigantic-regardless of how "big" it REALLY was. I have also seen storms that blackened the sky about as far as I could see.
Not to mention, just because it is referenced as covering the entire earth, doesn't mean it did. From THEIR perspective it could have been perceived as such. It is simply words used to describe an event. Think about it. How could any of them really know for sure it covered all the earth? Apparently, they either believed that or they used an illustration that allows the mind to see a picture of alot of darkness.
