300 years of drought in the middle of the flood?

There are many kind of things that are not discussed by YEC's when they defend flood-geology.

Can a YEC give an explanation for this phenomenom?

Clarifications:
- Catastrophism is the view that in the past abrubt processes shaped the earth as it is now.
- Uniformitarianism is the view that the earth as we see know has always been subject to current seen processes.
- precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that is deposited on the earth's surface: rain, snow, etc.
- Wind abrasion is wind-driven sand or ice crystals.

Another absurdity: Genesis says the pairs of animals on the ark were "male and female", but some animals don't have 2 genders.

It's also very interesting hearing YECs trying to explain how Bristlecone Pine trees which are still alive today, managed to survive 5500 metres under water.

Excellent video and fine scholarship to match. And best of all, peer reviewed references. Well done sir. The ignorance being propagated today doesn't survive the test of real learning. Very well done. 5* and subbed.

Another fine example of the application of logic

and deductive reasoning.
