We have been lucky so far. I hope the water drains off before it does any root damage to your incredible crotons. I believe I remember you getting flooded before and everything seemed to survive well, so I hope this is the same.

They will survive, sandy loam with good drainage

I have a few areas where the water really collects during times of flooding and results in standing water for days in the garden. That did a job on crotons and many other plants in those areas, with several not surviving. I have lost more plants from flooding than anything else. Luckily most of the gardens don't have this problem and do drain off more quickly even after heavy flooding.
