Default Measuring rainfall in a hurricane?

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. : )
