So i got off of work and was driving home in the rain. Now its been rain for two days.... So half way through a puddle

a lake i mean, my car died. I immediately got out and pushed it through the rest of the way. No water got in my car, but In my freak out i tried to start it, it turned over once then stopped and i haven't tried since. My dad advised me to let it dry then try to start it, I'm not to sure about that, anyone with some advise, knowledge, or input would be much appreciated. Oh and fml.
