Ok, basically spent the day sucking out the water out of the carpet, then pulled the rubber gaskets at the bottom of the door - removed the rear seat then lifted the carpets. Yes the rubber pad was soaked with water. Used my extractor again and towels - a hairdryer on low. Removed most of the water from the pad. Most collected toward the edges. Removed the tan trim clips that stuck into the body with a OEM trim puller. Tomorrow will reassemble everything together. Turned the car on super high heat for about 30 minutes to throughly dry the interior out - it helped with the leather and carpets.

Should be ok now all the standing water is removed and some air can get under the carpet. Unfortunately its not about 80F right now and its pretty humid - otherwise would be dry by now.

Don't know if it was my fault or the electrical storm - keys were in the house but I tried pressing the unlock far from the car and the windows do go down when held so I could have put them in my pocket and when watching a movie last night it could have triggered it. Don't know - in the future will keep the keys out and the car in.
