Smoke at Start-up

About a week ago I got caught in a severe storm and the roads were severely flooded. I was crossing water as deep as about 1/4 the way up the door, my exhaust was fully submerged, and I watched the temperature drop right down as the radiators and probably most of the sump were submerged for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Since then, I have been experiencing a large amount of smoke at start-up when the motor is below operating temperature. The smoke only lasts for about 30 seconds and then the car runs just fine, no power loss or anything.

Has the water done something? The smoke is really the only symptom.
