This exact same thing happened to our 1995 Honda Accord. My wife went to a restaurant for a business meeting and it absolutely poured rain. The storm drain in the parking lot filled up with water up to about mid door. By the time it drained, there was a couple of inches of standing water in the interior. It started real briefly than failed to run, and like you said, all kinds of warning lights came on.
I get there to arrange and tow, and the manager of the restaurant tell me "We really should paint those spots in diagonal lines so no one parks there. It floods every time it rains hard". I couldn't believe he told me that.
Long story short, Allstate covered all the repairs (to the tune of $7,500), due to what the manager told me, the restaurant covered a rental, the tow, and my $500 deductible. Since all of the work done for Allstate at the time was guaranteed for the life of the car, I wasn't worried. Honda replaced all the computers in it, the carpet, floor mats, a ton of stuff.
We had it for 4 more years, and never experienced a single problem.
Good luck and hope your situation works out as well.
