hi, phil swift here with flex tape! the super-strong waterproof tape! that can instantly patch, bond, seal, and repair! flex tape is no ordinary tape; its triple thick adhesive virtually welds itself to the surface, instantly stopping the toughest leaks. leaky pipes can cause major damage, but flex tape grips on tight and bonds instantly! plus, flex tape powerful adhesive is so strong, it even works underwater! now you can repair leaks in pools and spas in water without draining them! flex tape is perfect for marine, campers and rvs! flex tape is super strong, and once it's on, it holds on tight! and for emergency auto repair, flex tape keeps its grip, even in the toughest conditions! big storms can cause big damage, but flex tape comes super wide, so you can easily patch large holes. to show the power of flex tape, i sawed this boat in half! and repaired it with only flex tape! not only does flex tape powerful adhesive hold the boat together, but it creates a super strong water tight seal, so the inside is completely dry! yee-doggy! just cut, peel, stick and seal! imagine everything you can do with the power of flex tape!
It starts out okay and tells you 2 inch of rain in a large bowl is not the same as 2 inch of rain in a cup. Then, it never answer the question about how much is an inch of rainfall and how to measure it.
A very simple formula............ For each 1 inch of rain on a 1,000 square foot roof you would multiply .600 x 1,000. (.600 x 1,000 square feet x 1) would total about 600 gallons of water. 5 inches of rain on a 7,000 square foot roof would total about 21,000 gallons (.600 x 7,000 x 5). So just for laughs let's say that 2 1/2 inches of rain fall on a 100,000 square foot roof on a warehouse or distribution center. (.600 x 100,000 x 2.50) = 150,000 gallons. Hopefully that helps
@@alexandra.willitts6988 I wanted to know how many inches of rain fell and not how many gallons has fallen. Let's just say I have an ~500sq ft lawn, it rained, then stopped. How many inches of rain fell in general everywhere or more specifically onto my 500sq ft lawn?
more to this explanation is the fact that the water accumulates in areas that confine the water. So although the news will say, And inch of water.. which then you would think.. its not even enough to cover your shoes. You must consider, where the volume of that inch of water is accumulated at. So to better understand, if in your in a valley, obviously the majority of that water will see to that valley filling up to levels well beyond an inch. could be several feet. in general youd have no idea what the outcome would be unless you know the lay of the land. such as places like New Orleans that are well aware they are below sea level, and their city outlining dikes, prevent both river lake and estuary waters from filling up the enormous bowl they reside in. In a flood situation the amount of water that falls upon the land accumulates faster than the water can dissipate from said area, thus flooding areas.
I thankyou for the video, but most folks need this explained in lamen terms, perhaps, in kindergarten terms. Because I'm literally looking up now, the difference between the 20 in. Where Alabama wait , dang my mind, the place last week or so got flooded, that resteraunt with carpet. Ugh I apologize, point is , I realize 20 in, isn't gonna be nothing compared to 5ft. ? I'm assuming. But don't Know. Just lament terms after the regular version please. Cause all the smart people already know this. Well hold on I just had a thought I forgot about, how individuals are just that. Anyway. Thankyou. Jcadej
Use the formula for volume. The numbers are a bit too big so they use calculators The formula is V = Area x Height The area is 18 squared miles, but we have to convert that to inches since our height is inches to make it easier. 18 squared miles = 72,260,812,800 squared inches 72,260,812,800 squared inches x 7 inches = 505,825,689,600 cubic inches 231 cubic inches is 1 gallon so 505,825,689,600 divided by 231 = 2,189,721,600 gallons or 2 billion gallons to simplify
@@idekwhat1572 I understand why you may think of it that way since cities are never flat anyway but the "height" of the rain is measured with a rain guage, elevation isn't taken into acc since they're not figuring out the height for every specific area in the city. Think of that as the "average height of rainfall during this amount of time" instead of it being a relationship between ground height to top water height
5 inches of rain fall isnt having 5 inches of water everywhere and nothing else happening. Remember that there are fking slopes, dirt and trash that could be outside. Water will pile up towards buildings that are on lowerr elevations and mudslides will occur as well as the pile up or trash. 5 inches of rain is nothing to scoff at.

This my friends is not helpful.
Read my reply to Enuf Ots from 6 months before my reply. That is a pretty accurate formula on a much smaller scale.

Put a bucket outside and measure how much water is in after the storm. Make sure it's not covered/doesn't tip over

@@enufots4621 buy a rain meter then and why do you want to know that? .623 gallons per sqft per 1" of rain.

Good job, Chris...!! 👍
This is nothing back in my country. We used to have rain of more than 10 feet shortly after followed by 10 feet of snow and hail. 👀
So are we measuring with a bowl or cup?!

how did they use the numbers to get the 2billions of waterfall?

The formula is V = Area x Height
The area is 18 squared miles, but we have to convert that to inches since our height is inches to make it easier.
18 squared miles = 72,260,812,800 squared inches
72,260,812,800 squared inches x 7 inches = 505,825,689,600 cubic inches
231 cubic inches is 1 gallon so
505,825,689,600 divided by 231 = 2,189,721,600 gallons or 2 billion gallons to simplify

@@leinardesteves3987 so it's just straightforward huh. I thought they'd take elevation into account.
