Default HELP! CAI Sucked Up Water!

Had quite a scare yesterday, ******* monsoon in Orlando! Drove over a flooded mall entrance, (did see the water until i was already in it), car lost power, won't shut down completely and didn't wanted to start. Waited 10 sec than tried to start it again, the engine was choking and there was so much smoke everywhere. It finally started but my car definitely did not want to go far, so parked it for like an hour, hoping all the water drains out and my intake would dried up a little (still raining like a mofo). But when I drove it again, everytime I push down hard on the gas the car just jerks really hard when it shifts. Brought it to the mechanic this morning, he told me that my cam sensor got wet and the cold air intake prob sucked up some water. He changed my oil to make sure there was no water in my oil and he checked the transmission to make sure there was no water in there either. Right now she is fine but I am hoping I didn’t do too much damage. So far now check engine light (knock on wood). I am letting her sit for the day to dry out. Anybody ever run in to this problem? What did you do? Did you notice any problems later on?
