Gutter and downspout size for Crestview rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Crestview the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.74 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 670 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,340, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
