I have been seeing a lot of parts for sale from areas recently hit with storms/hurricanes/possible flooding. Kinda sketchy to me. My question is, besides electronics (obviously), which kinds of parts would one want to steer clear from if they were possibly exposed to flooding/storm damage?

Anything metal could be susceptible to rust due to storm surge. Storm surge is going to contain brackish salt water that could corrode. This could be in visible and non-visible areas of a particular part. I saw a new R on the news in Miami stranded in Irma's storm surge, I cringed particularly hard that day knowing it was a total loss.
