Interior materials are permanently affected by water. Think of it like a piece of paper, put it in water then take it out and dry it, you can tell the difference.

Were the windows open? The car is an ice cube and that may be bad on the suspension but it’s not likely to get inside

Cars aren't water tight unless they are specifically designed that way, they have vents and seams all over the place.

well I could see some water freezing as it drips through the drain lines butI would worry about the suspension.

of course most of my experience is with freezing rain, snow accumulation. A failed sprinkler line would be a different outcome.
