You ran from the white light at the end of the tunnel!
Glad car runs!
I don't think it will hurt to change the plugs and oil, that $40 is worth piece of mind...

same thing happened to me in my 82 civic about 5 years ago. ran through a hidden puddle and car just died. it took about 5 hours before i can get it running again.

hope everything goes well will.

maybe you should take your valve cover off and check everything, make sure nothing is cracked and ****

oil and water dont mix and water is lighter, youll see it pooling on the top of the valves and such.
