Water in air bricks

We had a tremendous storm yesterday and the road drains could not cope with the rainfall. Water rose over the kerb, down our drive and around the house, entering the air bricks. Ten minutes later and the water was gone as the rain eased and the drains around the house did their job. What are the consequences of the rainwater entering the air bricks? All the air bricks are now clear - will that be sufficient for the water to dry out naturally?

    They will be fine and dry out fairly quickly, but keep an extra eye on the inside for a week or so.
