The Watchtower Society dates Noah's flood to 2370 B.C.E. They do this by following Bible chronology quite closely, counting backwards from 607 B.C.E., their date for Babylon's destruction of Jerusalem. However, as we know, the Society's date for that event is in error. All serious historians date that event to 587/6 B.C.E. Using that date as our starting point, and following the same Bible chronology used by the Society and others, we wind up with a 2350 B.C.E. date for Noah's flood.
I find this quite interesting because a recent article published at space.com, a highly credible web site, discusses in some detail the theory that the meteor, which created the large crater recently discovered in southern Iraq, caused a catastrophic flood in that part of the world only a few thousand years ago. It also mentions the fact that recent studies of tree rings strongly suggest that a major, short term, climate altering event, such as a large meteor impact or series of such impacts, appears to have occurred in .... guess what year. Yup, "2350 BC".
By the way, the article dates the account of the deluge found in "The Epic of Gilgamesh," which many Bible critics say was the basis of the Bible's flood account, to "circa 2200 BC." That's one hundred and fifty years AFTER Bible chronology, and these new tree ring studies, indicate Noah's flood occurred.

Some interesting excerpts:
The draining of the region, as part of Saddam's campaign against the Marsh Arabs, has since caused the lake to recede, revealing a ring-like ridge inside the larger bowl-like depression - a classic feature of meteor impact craters.
The crater also appears to be, in geological terms, very recent. Dr Master said: "The sediments in this region are very young, so whatever caused the crater-like structure, it must have happened within the past 6,000 years."
Reporting his finding in the latest issue of the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, Dr Master suggests that a recent meteor impact is the most plausible explanation for the structure.
A date of around 2300 BC for the impact may also cast new light on the legend of Gilgamesh, dating from the same period. The legend talks of "the Seven Judges of Hell", who raised their torches, lighting the land with flame, and a storm that turned day into night, "smashed the land like a cup", and flooded the area.
