jet engines in rain conditions

Forgive me for the simplicity of this question but....
In heavy rain what happens to the water sucked into your turbofan engine?? Surely at the typical cruising speed of a passenger jet litres of water must get in during rain??

So does it make it as far as the compressor??? Does it involve a particle separator??

From a confused `internal combustion` fling wing student...
