Storage in hot, dry conditions

Long story short, my house flooded due to a busted water line and I've currently got dehumidifiers cranking out 100+ degree air throughout the place. As of right now, it's 85F and about 25% humidity where my collection is stored, and that's the coolest part of the house. I know that's pretty far off from ideal, but I'm assuming wood damage occurs at much longer time frames.

Is there even the slightest bit of concern about storage conditions when we're talking about a span of a week and change? I'm probably overthinking things, but they weren't damaged in the flooding, thankfully, and I really don't want to mess anything up while repairs are being done.

Put together a quick video to demystify some of the lore around the Ljungman action. I see a lot of comments about making sure it's on safe before you load it and I wanted to address why that's not necessary, while explaining a little about how it works.
