So yesterday a big storm hit us in Michigan. As we were leaving to take precautionary shelter at Lowe’s, the tornado sirens went off and in my panic trying to sprint myself and my dog to the car I dropped my ipad and Apple Pencil into a puddle. While I was able to quickly grab my iPad, my pencil had fallen out of the case further away from me. At that point the safety of myself and dog were more important so I left it behind. While I was able to retrieve it, the extended exposure to water likely killed it, though I won’t know for a few days once I turn my iPad back on to check.
As for my iPad, it didn’t get any surface damage thanks to the case and screen protector but it did fall in a puddle. I was very quick to retrieve it and it did seem like it was working fine, but I turned it off just to be safe and I’m leaving it be for about 48hrs. I’ll check for water damage after that. If I’m lucky, it’s still good and I only need to worry about potentially replacing the Apple Pencil, if not, well I hope my insurance on it covers it and it won’t cost too much to replace it.
So commissioners please have patience with me as I fix this up. Thank you for your understanding.

I’m from California and only moved to Michigan a year ago so I’ve never experienced these kinds of storms or heard tornado sirens. It scared the absolute shit outta me. My dog thankfully, while anxious, held it together better then I did.
