Do you have any power anywhere in the car? Sounds like you may have knocked the battery loose.
Please try to be more careful in the rain. You're lucky you didn't hit someone else.

There are some pretty good procedures in the FSM (see FAQ sticky) for testing the starter. Applying 12V to the solenoid should crank the engine. If it does not, then check that the main starter connection (thick wire) is getting 12V. If it is, then the problem is likely the solenoid.
