Ok, It's not as bad as you think. You might have to replace the switches, aside from that i don't see what else could cause the windows not to operate anymore.
The same thing happened to me a week or so ago, left the windows open and a HUGE storm came, but luckily the car didn't get so wet. Do you live in the DC area too?

Do this, push and pull really fast the window switch that doesn't work, do so for a minute without stopping. What that does, is it scratches the surface of oxidation created by the water. If you get lucky your windows willwork for a bit.So you'll know that you need a new switch board.

If you are handy, changing a switch is not too hard, there are instructions on how to takeapart a door.... i've had to dothat for my car last week...not so bad, let me know how it goes
