That really stinks. You should have kicked the 240SX to the curb.

i had water go that high on my turbo accord... i let it sit for a couple days to see what was really wrong to let everything dry out and all it did was make my carpet stink and it fried my ecu.... i just plugged in another ecu and ran just like normal... of course just to be safe i flushed everything out and changed the oil

daaamnnnn that sucks man! time to get that insurance check. it might be a while though, i'm guessing there's a lot of claims being filed right now.
any other water damage to stuff besides the cars? not sure if most of the houses in VA have basements. let us know when all that water goes down!
