Horseshoes up my WHAT?

[The Warthog]

I went to Toronto (100km away) on Wednesday to watch my daughter get her master's degree , leaving my scope covered in a tight fitting and fully waterproof plastic cover. I didn't secure the bottom of the cover however, so when I got home I discovered the 50km winds that happened earlier in the day had removed the cover, and my scope had been sitting in a moderate rain for about an hour.

I glumly put the scope back in the shed, and retired for the night. The next two days I didn't have the nerve to look, although I know that any damage will be done earlier, rather than later. But today I went out and looked at my perfectly dry scope, with no sign of rust anywhere, and the electronics still working.

Is it true that God looks after fools and Englishmen?
