How do you get 9 inches will equate to one foot? If it were a pool with flat walls it would be a 1 to 1 ratio. Since the lakes surface grows as the water rises there is an inverse amount of water needed to raise an additional inch. Since your assumption did not take runoff as source. And your assumption was that a "super cell" type rain activity actually was 16 miles by 16 miles constant rain...? Unfortunately in real world situations there can't be a measure of any rain which will cause a pre-determined amount of raise...

If it rained an extreme amont in a localized area (2 square miles...) the total effect would not be much but if it rained a little but steadily over the entire lake the result would be much greater...

Look for a high pressure system to stall over the basin....
