Unhappy Help Guys!

Hey guys. So I was driving home today (1/02/24) and it started to rain. The right side of the street had a lot of puddles, and I had to turn right and I got to a puddle myself. It was a pretty big one. My car is kind of low. Not that much. But as I was going home, the car started sounding weird and kind of jerking, so I pulled over and then it was good. But when I was turning the corner to get to my street, the car stopped entirely. There’s a stop sign on that turn so I had downshifted like usual, and I revved it and it stopped. Luckily I had turned to the street. I tried to start it again but it didn’t want to and it died immediately. Even tried jumpstarting but same result. Here’s a video of me trying to start it (GDrive link because it said file was too large). I’m not very well versed in something like this, like diagnosing or knowing what happened. I’m here for advice and knowledge. I have no idea what the issue is and I need to know what I could be and how to fix it. I would assume water got in somewhere but again, I have no idea where. I need help trying to figure what to do. Thank you in advance.

I'm going to try and check it out tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure what to look for really.

If you sucked water into the intake, that could be very bad.

Google "RX8 Club water in intake"
