Gutter and downspout size for Town and Country rain

In Town and Country the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.51 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 960 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,920, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
