If the power is still on in a house that is flooded and someone walks in the water, why/how are they not electrocuted?

I keep seeing videos of people coming home to a burst pipe or the neighbors above them having a flood. The water pours down from the ceiling and from the light fixtures (lights are on), but the people walking around the house don’t get electrocuted.

I have question! My property floods during severe rain and does not drain. I run a couple 1/2 hp pumps when the water stands. I need extension cords and stake them above the water. Will I be electrocuted?
