This is very true. That being said, I will share this
moisture story with you.  

In 1992, my house (Florida) was hit rather hard by
Hurricane Andrew.  My collection room was in shambles
from the roof covering being blown off.  I had some
Blue Amberol cylinders (some good titles) inside a
cylinder cabinet in drawers.  They were standing in
plastic boxes inside cabinet.  I thought they were
safe.  A few days after trying to salvage what I could
all over my house, I looked inside the cabinet which
as  I said, I thought would be safe.  Water had come
down into the cabinet and the cylinders were sitting
in FOUR INCHES of water. :-)

I took the cylinders out and let them dry out inside
my house (where I could find a dry place).  A few
weeks later I tried them and they fit the mandrel and
played perfectly.  I looked up and said, "Thanks, Mr.
Edison!"

NOTE: do not try this at home.  :-)
