How long was they flooded for? I recently did that with a few of my formica. Just a little. Didn't seem like a big deal at the moment. I came back later to two of the queens flopped over in the water. Shaking didn't do anything so I drained the sitting water and just left them there. Came back later to two lively queens like nothing has happened.
