Don covered what to do pretty well for dirty water. I did not feel the need to repeat it. I have had laptops hosed down with white water & pulp from paper machines. Fairly dirty from an electronics point of view. I washed them out in the bathroom sink & put them upside down on the hotel air conditioner to dry. YLMV on this. (Your luck may vary.)

I am by no means an expert in this, but with enough rain to qualify as a flash flood, I would think the rain water would be pretty clean wherever you are.
