Had a flash-flood at field day one year, a pretty good downpour left us
standing in about 10" of water, and once we got over the initial panic and
had the rigs covered, we realized that the 110V power strips were completely
submerged.

Of course fresh water is a lousy conductor, and everything was actually
wired right with earth ground, but it was an interesting moment or two.
