So, last night I'm in my basement office working on a project, and I spin my chair to check something on my laptop, and I notice that when I put my foot down, my sock immediately gets soaked. We were about an inch & a half in to getting 3 inches of rain in an hour. I powered everything down immediately, and pulled all the machines out and took them upstairs with no incident (they're all raised off the ground 6 inches on a platform).
By the time all the machines were upstairs, there was a good half inch of water on the floor in my office.
My question: The in-line transformers for things like my DVCam deck, firewire drives, etc. were all sitting in water for about half an hour, and got thoroughly wet. Is it safe to use them, once they dry out? Or should I just pick up new boxes? I don't really have time or money to order new ones, but I'm just wondering if it will be safe to plug them in in a couple days.
First time I'd ever gotten any moisture in this basement. It figures that 95% of it would come into the office. :(
