Is there a formula that can calculate rainfall on a gallons-per-square-mile basis?

Or gallons-per-acre would be fine, as well.
Of course there are rain gauges that show how many inches of rain fell in a one-inch wide container, but that doesn’t easily translate into gallons, much less gallons per square mile.
What I am after is something that will let me calculate and enable me to make a statement like this:
“Torrential rains in Missouri this week came down at a rate of 7000 drops per minute, and deluges St. Thomas county with more than 8 zillion gallons of rain in a 24 hour period”.
Does this sort of formula exist?
