Yes, it would have killed most of them, but remember...seeds float, and many plants can actually survive being covered in water for long periods of time. There are also numerous examples of seeds that can exist in a dormant phase either underwater or buried in sediment until the right conditions cause them to "energize" for lack of a better term.
