Default Flooded laminate flooring -- any hope of rescue?

A window well filled up in yesterday's torrential rain, flooding our
basement. The carpet -- which we were thinking of replacing anyway -- is
not so difficult to get reasonably dry with a carpet cleaning machine.
But the room with the flooded window well has cheap laminate flooring
over thin plastic-faced felt underlayment. The surface or the boards is
dry and the adjacent carpeted area is reasonably dry, but there is a
squelchy sound when we walk on the laminate floor, and the edges and
ends of some boards are curling up. Any hope of saving this floor?
