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!

Well, maybe this will compound the problem. Imagine a horizontal plain in
Spain. If the rain is coming in horizontally then none will enter the
usual
rain gauge AND none will hit the plain. In the plains of Spain a
hurricane
results in very little rain. In Spain it rains mainly on the mountain
sides
and not in the plain during a hurricane. : )
