Fuel will vaporize. It will never hit the ground or water. It does not matter where the pilot dumps it. This happens far more often than you think (Dumping fuel) though not in emergency dump quanteties.

What would I do? Get to a window and take pictures. That fuel will create one heck of a pretty rainbow.
