If you were in a flood where the water level got up on the doors, then the wiring got soaked obviously, and shorted multiple systems out. Anyone can tell you just to wait until it drys out, change fuses, and you'll be fine...BUT, they would be wrong...

Yes, you will have to take it to a shop, one you already trust hopefully. The car needs a complete systems inspection and diagnostic testing. Cross your fingers even then, since that isn't a guarantee that more won't happen later...
Check the condition of your oil and transmission BEFORE you even start it up again...
sounds like you have a heater core leaking. on mosts vehicles the dash must be removed to replace it. the light on your dash is probably the low coolant light. check your coolant and get it to a shop soon. you can by-pass the heater core if you can't afford to have it replaced, but you won't have heat either.

water is in all the parts if it runs it may burn up the engine first change the oil and flush second take a hair dryer and try to dry off all the wires you see then also put some gas dryer in the gasoline and top it off with fresh hope that helpsisn't the car still under warranty?
or you could make an insurace claim on it to have it fixed to help reduce the cost. I think insurance covers "acts of God"
