Default Measuring rainfall in a hurricane?

Just a quick question to ask how DO you actually measure rainfall totals
during a hurricane when I imagine most of the rain is coming in
horizontally?

Read on www.ukweatherworld.co.uk that Isla Mujeres has recorded 1560mm of
rainfall in the last 24 hours. Have to state that this is very unconfirmed
though!

Thanks,
