By flat earth, we mean a spherical earth with a relatively flat surface where there are no mountains of any significance.
The writer of the fllood myth is not in the "we" you use. That's Creationist speculation.
We actually do not know what the land surface was like before the flood.
We actually know that there was no such flood. And we actually know to a close approximation what the surface of the earth was like long, long before the time of the alleged flood.

There is no reason to believe the account provided in the Bible. The flood is a story...nothing more. Ad so is God.
