Default RE: having trouble starting

If it's clicking, it could be the starter, or basically a dead battery (try get a boost from someone and it will recharge itself). But are you saying it was a big enough puddle that the whole underside of your car was submerged? Or did something from the bottom of the road hit your undercarriage?

But first, try get a boost. It's probably the battery.
