I once had a home brew trail camera that got inundated during a flash flood like this, it was setup along a slough near the Wolf River. I remember opening the waterproof otter box (it had been modified with openings) and water running out on my hands. I knew right then that was not good. The best part is the memory card was unharmed, at least for the time while I retrieved the pics from the previous month. The camera and control board were toast, and I did discard the memory card for good measure once I got the pics off of it. I could never have trusted it from that point forward. Needless to say, I learned my lesson for middle to later December flash flooding for the areas I frequent.
