I have a circuit breaker panel for my house. One breaker has a built in GFI and protects the bathroom & kitchen circuit. Yesteray it kicked off & would not reset. I finally got it to reset by turning full off & on, but the lights & outlet aren't working and the testbutton does not work. Yesteray we had severe rain & winds & some flooding & when I tried sucking up water with a shop vac . It kicked off the main twice & there was a momentary buzzing when the main turned back on. I see no signos of water in or around the box, but there was some buxxing, when the circutit was turned back on, but no smoke or sparking.
I am electrical novice (light switches & outlets are my level of skill).
Should I just remove this breaker & replace it & it so how do I do it?
Thanks you in advance for any input & feedback
Please also see my other question posted right before this one in electrical on a GFI circuit breaker that just started to malfunction!

Is it possible the 2 separate items are in some way related?
Other question is posted under the same sn inquiring quest.
The air conditioneer is NOT on the GFI circuit breaker circuit!
Thanks in advance
