In addition to the above comments

Do NOT be tempted to turn things on before they are cleaned and COMPLETELY dry.

I realise oversights happen, and I feel for your loss, so don't take this the wrong way, but this should be a strong piece of advice to anyone who lives in an area prone to flooding, especially someone who has a sump pump installed, not to leave gear (especially classic guitars!) at ground level.

Good luck getting it all sorted out.
