That would make sense if your home could support 62400 pounds of water on a rooftop. Otherwise you better be draining off at the same rate the water is collecting. If you are draining at the same rate you are collecting then your water is in freefall. Once your restrict the flow until its backed up all the way down that 100' drop then you now lose energy from the pressure of going through a pipe. Now you just added in atmospheric pressure into the equation. This is all going to get a lot more complicated then a simple 100' drop.
