well this isn't looking good. I would pull out your plugs and crank it over a few times to try to get any water out.

Pull your plugs, Turn it over. You will probably have water in the oil pan also, so a oil change and filter are a must. If your air filter is wet you are going to need a new one also. If this is going to be a common thing in the future you should invest in a snorkel.
