Oh Oh!! Lot's of things won't like the water trick! Just how deep was the car when it sucked in water? Who knows what got wet that should stay dry. You saw the white smoke and that's bad enough if the engine didn't just blow you are lucky so far.
All air intake items need to be removed, dried, and air filter probably replaced as I'm unsure if it will dry out ok. It may be choking on it's own air filter and other items that are still wet. How long has it been?

That's still about the same. If water made it far enough to get into cylinders then it passed thru the air filter - right?

Everything suggest that liquid water actually made it into the intake. Filter being wet would screw things up by itself. Other controls in line of air flow may have been damaged. If more water had really been drawn in it would have been a fast "game over" for this engine! The snorkeling of the path of air may still have water. If you can - I'd take things from port where air enters to throttle body apart and dry them out at least for now,

Just quickly re-read. You said the water was from it raining. That alone doesn't suck in water and blow white exhaust out unless it was really intense or splashing water or water on roadway too deep for travel.
You said you just looked in your rear view and saw white smoke. That could have been water on hot exhaust parts and not water sucked into engine but still seems to have been the cause of the problems now.
The fact that it can run at high rpms is a good thing so far. It's hard to say much more as I wasn't there when this happened to witness the severity of it. You simply must verify the air path is dry now - including the air filter or there's no guessing which is the best I can do with this anyway as this is not a routine problem!?
