Challenge Question #2
How many baths can you get from a rainstorm?

Maybe it is the middle of July in Georgia and both you and your tomatos are wilting in your yard, both looking to the sky and hoping for rain. Or maybe a low-pressure cell has decided to take a week-long nap near you, and your arm is hurting from holding that umbrella while you watch your basement fill up with water. Either way, you would like to know how much rain has fallen—how many gallons have come down from the skies onto your roof, yard, block, or town. And, of course ... how many baths could you get from your rainstorm?

Use the form below to find out such things. This form lets you choose an area(s) and a rainfall amount—then it will tell you how many gallons of water fell from the sky onto that area. I think you'll be surprised as to how much rain really does fall in a rainstorm.

Note: You can enter numbers into any or all of the boxes below:
Method A: Use FEET (for areas such as your yard).
Method B: Use ACRES (for larger areas, a farm, city block).
Method C: Use SQUARE MILES (for large areas).

Select one or more methods to choose the size of yor area:
