The way Genesis 8:1 is written would make you think that God forgot about them but be assured He did not. God knew where they were and what they were doing and thinking. This is what I am thinking. The rain from above and the waters gushing up from below kicked up a lot of debris and mud.

And the ark may not have arrived yet over the place that God planned for it to settle.

Eight people!
