I'm not a math guy but I found this on a Google search of "inches of rain to gallons per acre".

Volume and weight. One inch of rain falling on 1 acre of ground is equal to about 27,154 gallons and weighs about 113 tons.
So wouldn't that mean that 30" of rain on an acre would equate to 814,620 gallons?

Again I'm not a math guy.
