If the voltage was too high or had spikes it could certainly have done that.
Kinda the reverse of the Netonix problem.

I replaced the POE, AP, and surge card on Tuesday.  That's what fixed it for 
sure. 

The AP is sitting here in the lab and doing gigabit for 3 days now, happily.  
The POE and surge card are in the trash.

I'm wondering if it's possible the POE fried all of those surge cards on 
Saturday/Sunday/Monday/Tuesday.  If that's possible?

  You say you are inclined to think it is the POE.  I presume that means the 
POE power supply.  So try a new one.  I am probably not understanding the 
situation.

  I have a thousand new POEs.  What do you want me to try?

    Do you have a spare POE to try ?

    Well there was no lightning or anything, beautiful weather.  After several 
cards I have to imagine it's the POE or the AP.  We replaced those two at the 
same time. 

    Does it make sense the POE was doing something weird to fry them or more 
sense the AP was pulling too many amps?  AP seems perfectly fine in the office 
for 36 hours, so I'm inclined to believe it's the POE.

      It resets immediately if it is going to reset.  
      Sounds like it took a hit.

      How long does it need to be cold for it to be self reset?  The one I took 
down this morning looks perfectly clean and I can't get pins 7/8 through it.  
At this point I'm thinking the (AC) POE is the cause of all our issues 
(Cambium, so that pair is positive 24v and data).

        Sure, you can also wash them with 90% isopropyl alcohol.  That will 
remove any water.  Need to make sure there is no corrosion. 
        Wash out the jacks extra good too.  

        If they have not had too large of a surge, they are totally self 
resetting.

        There's a cause and I'm pretty confident it's not the cards themselves. 

        This weekend an AP started having eth link issues.  Look at it and the 
card/rj45 is full of water.  Replaced the line.  Problem returns about 12 hours 
later.

        I plug in my continuity tester and pin 7 blinks quickly and fades away. 
 Headed up the tower now for a new AP and already did a new Poe (no power until 
AP replaced).

        Is it possible the Poe/AP are damaging the surge card?  We've gone 
through 5-6 cards since Saturday, and I thought it was all water related.  It 
stopped raining on Sunday after card 3 + new line.

        Any other ideas?  Can I wait a minute and reuse the dry cards, are they 
self resetting (I tried power cycling the POE for 5 seconds with no change) 
after a length of time?
