What an Inch Of Rain Means.

Did you ever realize the thou
sands of tons of rain fall even in
the smallest showers? VIII e n
you read in the paper that the
precipitation was one inch you
probably fail to comprehend just
what that means, but if you were
told that during the rain 110 tons
of water, or 600 huge barrels had
fallen on each acre of ground,
then probably you would be able
to visualize just what had happen
ed when the little drops came
pattering on the roof.
When you reflect that rain
storms often cover great areas
and extend for many hours, or
until four or five inches have fall
len, you can imagine the enor-
nous oceans of water that are
precipitated duringa storm. You
can also get a fair idea of the
reason why so-called cloud bursts
frequently do such fearful dam
age.
