I feel like i need to explain the situation here.. the rain was very strong, and although i said the flooding was only 2 inches in the run, i could tell it was rising. I live in an area that is extremely dry for half of the year, and in the last few months i rarely had to deal with rain. This means that the ground gets extremely dry and compact, so it's unable to absorb water. Also in the last few weeks we've had temperatures above 90 (33°C) (in a very humid climate, and very little wind). I do everything i can to keep them cool, but they are used to these types of temperatures. With the strong rain, the temperature cooled down to 77 (26°C), and with the water levels rising, i got really scared of them getting cold.
For the lightning, one of them did stike in the garden, but i mainly refered to it in my main post to show that it was a serious storm and not just a short shower. I didnt run out in the garden while the storm was right above my house, i waited for a bit for it to move out of the way, until i could hear at least 3 seconds between the lightning anf thunder (which i beleive is a km) but the rain was still very strong.
When i got there, there was at least 6 inches of water and two of them were outside (The black and the white one) and they could barely walk. I have no idea why, but they never go inside the coop when it rains. They were hiding under it but that didnt do much because of the flooding. I could've left the grey one as she's a broody but i was able to carry all three of them at the same time so i prefered to have all of them with me.
I guess i just want to make it clear that my actions were thought of.
i was careful, didnt run out in the open. 
Were they in the coop or run when you got there?
