I had the same situation as Jorlem. Let it dry for two or three days and then plug it in. It should be fine. I actually did it twice to the same drive, and it survived with data intact. The adhesive that held the outer sheath onto the drive gave way, which means that it's no longer safe to carry around (since dust and lint and such can get into the insides), but the drive itself still works. (I ended up buying a new one, just because the portability is why I bought the thing in the first place.)
