I think you mean 12 inches (12") otherwise the whole car would have been underwater

Glad you and family are safe. I think you have good recommendations here and some basic steps to help it dry out quickly may be all that is needed. With max 18" depth, I'm not sure if any water would have actually gotten into the engine at all.

I feel your pain. Floods absolutely suck. We had over 60" (5ft) because of Hurricane Sandy. Salt water too. Thank goodness I moved my car to higher ground beforehand. It would have been completely submerged in sea water - total write off. We've recently purchased a new house only a few miles away, but its 200ft above sea level...I never want to go through the flooding crap again.

Best of luck.
