I'm unable to answer your question, but I'd like to hear how inadvertently you drowned your car.

You don't need holes in the floor for water to get in if the water is high. There are plenty of places where water can seep through. Door seals, wire holes pass-thrus, etc.

But holes do make the process a lot quicker, so I guess if you can get past the high water fast enough you may be spared.
