Ouch. Sorry to hear that. You might want to try mounting the drives in
new enclosures, which can be had for less than twenty bucks.. I'm no
tech expert, but I suppose there's a chance that it's just the case
electronics that re damged.

Thanks, Paul.
I tried mounting them internally on different computers and everything.
No dice. So, I guess the only thing I can do is be grateful for the fact
that I only had about 1 1/2 years' worth of semi-seriously pursued
photography to lose. And then I can hope for some kind of surprise
financial windfall where all I have to do is spend a night in the
haunted house of a recently deceased, long-lost relative in order to
inherit a secret fortune.
If you were to open up the case of the hard drive, there would be a
circuit board, and the sealed platter mechanism. There is a good chance
that it is the circuit boards that are fried, and the the platters (the
disks themselves) which have the actual data on them are in good shape.
For example:

What are the model numbers on the hard drives?
