   Leave it for abit to dry out, and try again. Theres one by me... depending on what im driving i either go through it fast and cause a massive mess..
   Or if im in a lowered car i stop keep the revs high and creep through.
   Never had a problem tbf

   take air filter and trunking off,take plugs out and spin it over but don't stand near it as if the cylinders are full of water you'll get soaked. had to do it countless times on off roaders and lorries with low air intakes
