Everyone knows the story of Noah's flood, and that God will never destroy, by flood, the Earth again...but this is very interesting...how the water may have been produced.
Let's start with the NASA website with the story: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/15dec_solarflaresurprise.htm
Solar-Flare Surprise
Dec. 15, 2008: Solar flares are the most powerful explosions in the solar system. Packing a punch equal to a hundred million hydrogen bombs, they obliterate everything in their immediate vicinity. Not a single atom should remain intact.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
"We've detected a stream of perfectly intact hydrogen atoms shooting out of an X-class solar flare," says Richard Mewaldt of Caltech. "What a surprise! These atoms could be telling us something new about what happens inside flares."
The event occurred on Dec. 5, 2006. A large sunspot rounded the sun's eastern limb and with little warning it exploded. On the "Richter scale" of flares, which ranks X1 as a big event, the blast registered X9, making it one of the strongest flares of the past 30 years.
NASA managers braced themselves. Such a ferocious blast usually produces a blizzard of high-energy particles dangerous to both satellites and astronauts. Indeed, moments after the explosion, radio emissions from a shock wave in the sun's atmosphere signaled that a swarm of particles was on its way.
An hour later they arrived. But they were not the particles researchers expected.
NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft made the discovery: "It was a burst of hydrogen atoms," says Mewaldt. "No other elements were present, not even helium (the sun's second most abundant atomic species). Pure hydrogen streamed past the spacecraft for a full 90 minutes."...
...now for the interesting part:
What is the chemical composition of water?
Answer:
Water is H2O, which is 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is in the middle, with the two hydrogen atoms bonded to the oxygen. The molecule is V-shaped.
I am curious what would happen during an intense Solar Storm from our Sun would do - where these X-class solar flares produce pure streams of Hydrogen that bombards our atmosphere and interacts with the oxygen in the air for say ...hmmmm - let's say...40 days and 40 nights? Hydrogen streams combine with atmospheric oxygen to produce water?

Oh but wait, these particle streams would have to get through our magnetosphere, which protects us, to get into our atmosphere right?
What about this:
A Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field
...again from NASA's website:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/16dec_giantbreach.htm
Dec. 16, 2008: NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening to "load up" the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning long-held ideas of space physics.
"At first I didn't believe it," says THEMIS project scientist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "This finding fundamentally alters our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction."

In posting the above information, I just wanted to show how this could happen.
...again from NASA's website:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/21dec_cycle24.htm
Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one.
...looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center. He and colleague Robert Wilson presented this conclusion last week at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.
According to Nasa, the Earth's magnetic field that protects us(magnetosphere) has been breached, and that we are in for very intense solar storms, peaking is just a 3 years or so (but solar flare can happen anytime)...so what is going to happen during Solar Cycle 24? Perhaps Giant hail, and scorched earth when hydrogen solar streams from the sun hit our atmosphere?
...interesting
Revelation 8:7 (New King James Version)
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck
"The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth.[a] And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up."
Footnotes:
Revelation 8:7 NU-Text and M-Text add and a third of the earth was burned up.
also...
Revelation 16:21 (New King James Version)
21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
...So now I know the how.
