Default Starter Help!!!

Ok its an auto 99 ss. I was drivin down the road fine. It starts to freakin pour down rain. I stop at the gas station. Get back in everything still fine. Go freakin 2 miles down the road to get something to eat. I come back out and evrything seems fine but when i turn the key all i hear is the starter pop but not turn. The only thing i can figure is the water messed it up. It gave no problems before this any ideas before i buy a new one.
