That sounds about right.

I heard that accidental damage is covered with the Apple Care, if you get it
on a phone. I think it might be $79 or something, not sure if it covers macs
though.

I know in the past I've been able to visit an Apple store and get a phone
exchanged for less than the cost of a new device. I had forgotten it was in my
pocket and went swimming with it. At the time I think they charged me about
$150-200 and I told them exactly what happened. That's been a few years ago
when the iPhone 4 was new. It was money I didn't really want to spend but it
was still far less than the cost of outright buying a new one. Maybe they do
the same thing for laptops. There are stories elsewhere on the web of folks
calling AppleCare for water in their laptops and being told it's not covered
but being able to get a "spill repair" for way less than the cost of a new one.
Still could be a non-trivial cost but better than buying a whole new unit.
Other forums also mention having computer damage riders on their insurance
covering this kind of thing so you might want to check into that. There are
also 3rd party repair shops which might have a lower cost than going through
the official Apple channels such as ispillrepair.com. I've never used them but
it might be worth a try.

As I said mother nature decided to blow rain into the window and it
totally soaked the mac along with loads of other stuff.

AppleCare for a Mac is like an extended warranty, to the best of my
knowledge. Accidental damage like this surely would not be covered. Your best
bet would be to call apple or visit the genius bar to inquire what you're
options are. You should discontinued use of the computer until you decide what
to do, to avoid further damage.

Hey everyone. Hopefully someone can answer my question. I'm so
frustrated right now that I can't think straight.
Is there a place where I can go see if my mac is covered under apple
care if it's killed by water?
My poor mac was just drowned in rain thanks to mother nature and
soaking pretty much everything with blowing wind and loads of rain while I was
out for lunch.
Sadly I can't call apple to ask them due to the fact it's a holiday
here in Canada, grrr!!
