Just left my convertible open over night

So, it's 2 am right now. I woke up and went downstairs to get something to drink and noticed that my car's roof was open in pouring rain.

15cm of water on the floor.

Seats and stuff are all leather.

The electronics still worked, the roof closed fine.

What can i do now?

UPDATE:

First of all thank you guys for the support here!

In case anybody was wondering: The car is a 2004 VW Beetle.

The first thing i did was get all of the rough spots "dry".

But as you said, the foam under the leather seats is still really wet, i'll have to see how i get that dry.

The leather on the seats got a bit wrinkled.

The car still smells alright, but i bet that will change.

I'll post some update pics, but keep in mind the car was already left in the Sun for 5 hours and mostly dry at that point.

I'll be looking for a wet vac today so i can take care of the carpets properly.

Thanks again, great community here. My name is so ridiculous because i forgot the switch to my main account, sorry lol.
