Flood won't start
We had a recent rain storm here, unexpected amount of rain
The rain came up and into my 02 ls1 when I went
To start it, it clicked as if the battery was low, so I put the battery
Charger on it and started right up, I noticed the gauges went crazy
So I shut it off, when I went to start it up again it won't start.
The lights come on wipers everything works, it just won't crank???
Any ideas?

How high did it get to? Suspect some wiring is corroded. Can you push into sunlight during the days to help dry it out? Or if in a garage use some heaters to dry it out? The quicker you can dry it out the better. If the flood reached your 'puters you might pay extra attention there to dry it out

Water and Corvettes do not mix well... Check levels in side car to see how high it was insided the car.. That will also help give you how high it was outside the car.. Codes can help but you may want to think about finding a Good Corvette Mechanic, not the dealership ones, as a fall back
Got a guy coming to check it out, when I turn the key on the fuel pump comes on, just won't crank

Sounds like your BCM, fuse box , and relays in the passenger footwell got wet......dry out your BCM, replace the relays, and you should be good to go. Well, also check your starter....it probably got submerged too.
