In FL the car would not be totaled. If it goes into salt water it is totaled but fresh water usually brings only a flood classification. At the auction you are told it is a water car and in the case of salt water you get a Certificate of Distruction title which means you cannot title the car in FL. In some cases I have seen flood cars come with clear titles.
The key is to get at electronics and engine as quickly as possible and dry them out.
