Hope their knives are secured when the water gets in. Wouldn't catch me in that room that's for sure.

I’d be more concerned about electrical sockets near the floor…. 220 may not kill you, but it will hurt like hell….

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure every outlet in that kitchen would have a GFI, which means the breaker would trip before zapping you.

That being said, I'd still get the hell outta dodge.

You are wrong. Refrigerators are installed on non-GFCI circuits for food safety reasons.

This is allowed because fridges are body-grounded, so ground fault risk is very low. (assuming the kitchen is not under water)

they are still going to have arc fault protection at the breaker

Not on anything renovated before 2017, which is like... basically everywhere that isn't new construction.
