What to do....

My Mesa Powerhouse 410 was just through a flood!
I've only had it for 2 weeks and then my basement flooded.
There are water marks halfway up the bottom two speakers.
I took these two speakers out and tipped the cabinet over to get the water out and sopped the remainder up with towels. So far the cabinet is in great shape - no visible wood swelling or damage. The tolex seam has come unglued on the very bottom though.
Am I out of luck as far as the speakers go? What is the likelyhood these will still work? I know the water didn't reach the crossover, but the bottom two speakers were halfway under water.

Let them dry and see if they've warped at all, test them.

Thanks - The worst part was calling my band mates and giving them the news! The drums were floating and filled but cleaned up nicely. Two monitors were completely under water, my Marshall Bass 115, GK SBX410, and Mesa all had water, and my guitarists footpedals were engulfed. So far, the Dimebag Wah and Korg tuner survived. We have yet to be brave enough to try anything else.
