if you still have mud the floors are probably still wet. when it starts to dry out is when it will buckle. more than likely it will be a total loss

Solid cyprus should be fine as long as the substrate it is attached to does not buckle. Dry slowly and be prepared to add toenails and temporary weights as required.
The river got into my ancestral home that was over 200 years old a few years ago and we saved nearly everything.

I think it will depend on the kind of wood and how much water damage there is.
My old house by City Park had heart pine floors and took a few inches of Katrina water. Insurance gave me enough for full replacement, but I just rented a floor sander and applied polyurethane. It had gotten slightly swollen/cupped on some of the edges, but the sander smoothed that right out. It hadn't buckled up and the old pine was dark enough to not even need stain.
If it's just silty, shop vac and mop a few times until you can determine if the finish is OK.

pull them out and replace. my wood floor had the prettiest green mold underneath them post Kitrina. Didn't get the smell out of the house until the wood floors were removed
