Either your intake sucked up and became completely soaked in water (unlikely) or your alternator got splashed as well as the spark plug wires and needs top be dried out.

Check your spark plug and distributor compartments if it's an i4. If it's a v6 check the wires to make sure they're not wet.

Are you stating the when you turn the ignition key to start, the engine does not turn over, or it turns over but does not start?
