Default Mistakenly Connected wrong battery terminals

Hello Guys,
Need helping figuring how to get my GS350 working again please! I mistakenly switched my battery cables, while trying to jump start My car. I.e. Connected positive car cable to the negative battery terminal and the negative cables to the positive side of the battery . By the time I realized what a mess I had done , I heard a "puffy" sound and that was it. The car wouldn't turn on any more, is it possible that I blew a fuse ? And if so which fuse would that be or do I have a major problem ?

Please help thanks

I've done this at work to a car before. The car I did it to, it blew about 5-7 fuses. I also heard of a tech doing it on accident and it blew the cars electronic system and had to spend a lot of $$ to fix it. Hopefully yours only needs a few fuses replaced! good luck
