There's another possibility here. About 11,000 years ago there was a
huge flood in the Northwest, where the Snake and Columbia rivers are.
A very large lake had formed, dammed by an arm of the glacial ice sheet.
One fine day, the dam broke, and in one day, the coulees were formed.
A similar event may have happened with the Eurasian ice sheet, along
the series of water bodies (Black Sea, Caspian, Aral) being blocked
and suddenly released. This would create the Flood, and the motion
of such a huge amount of water may have indeed caused considerable
rainfall.
And (further out), perhaps an asteroid crashed into this lake instead....
