1 mile = 5,280 feet = 63,360 inches.

square that to get 4,014,689,600 square inches.

multiply that by the 1 inch depth of the rain to get the same number: 4,014,689,600 cubic inches of rain.

231 cubic inches per gallon, so you divide 4,014,689,600 cubic inches by 231 to get 17,378,742 gallons.

Which blows my mind because I never thought of it in those terms. That's a lot of water!
