Badknees and Little Goodknees!


« on: September 06, 2008, 12:50:12 pm »

YTD 16.98" of rain have fallen in the Basin. Within the confines outlined on the attached map I have made this useless estimate.

27.6 sq.mi.

27.6 X 5,280 x 5,280 = 769,443,840 sq ft

769,443,840 sq ft X 16.98"/12 = 1,088,763,033.6 cu.ft.

1,088,763,033.6 cu.ft. X 7.4805 = 8,144,491,872 gals rain

Weighing in at a whopping 67,843,617,300 lbs or 33,921,808 tons
