Default Washed the engine and now the blower won't blow into cabin

Hey guys....tonight I washed the engine compartment at the car wash, and at first there was a LOT of water that collected in the upper portion where the battery sets. I found what appeared to be a drain but it had a rubber plug in it. I removed the plug and the water drained out onto the ground.

When I left the carwash, I noticed that the blower motor had sort of a whistle to it and that it wasn't blowing hardly any air through the dash vents, even though it was blowing at full speed (judging by the high velocity sound). It would blow through the defrost vents and I think I felt some go to the flooor, but nothing would come straight out into the cabin.

What the heck could I have screwed up???

Okay...apparently the problem dried itself out. Today the car sat in the sun for several hours and it works now. But this morning it wasn't...
