If its idling and running ok, you're probably going to be allright. You may have gotten some of the electrical components wet and that's what stalled your engine and threw the code. If you had a major amount of water ingested you probably would have hydraulic locked your engine, which did not happen. I'd pull the codes and see what really stalled it then I'd check the oil for water and if everything checked out I'd continue to drive it.

When it happens dont try to start/stop the car just leave it on so the compression and heat will get the water out of the cylinders.

i cleaned ~2 litres of water out of an LT1 awhile back. dude drove thru a deep puddle, car cut off, and it would not turn over to start afterwards.
pulled the plugs... glug glug glug glug.....
that car is still o.k. and runs fine as far as i know. he was lucky.
