Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Some observations:

• Noah knew his birthday.
  
• Noah numbered his days.
  
• Noah knew the exact date the flood began.
  

This is a very precise account.

The fountains of the great deep broke up before the windows of heaven were opened.  Perhaps one caused the other.
