Poor Ferrari is right. Anyone want to go to a flood auction and look for a new race car chassis? ---

Google doing the math says: 17,378,742.85714 or 17 million gallons. ---

Yep, ~18,000 should have been ~18,000,000 - that’s what I get for pulling numbers from memory. EDIT: Yes: [http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthrain.html](http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthrain.html) ---

So, @ 5" total rain fall, 85 million ish gallons in one square mile. Or, 19,000 ish of these pools in one square mile: ![http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/07/82/57/30/0007825730942_500X500.jpg](http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/07/82/57/30/0007825730942_500X500.jpg) Let’s reduce that to a 1/2 acre plot of land @ 5" of water = 67,885 gallons, or 15.4 ish pools You, and all your neighbors have 15 pools, and everyone drains them all on the same day. ---
