Yes, if you get enough water down the exhaust it will go through an open valve and fill the cylinder. The engine won't turn over when that cylinder comes up on top dead center. In cars and trucks you can bend a rod trying to crank a water locked engine but I have never hurt an H or M.
First pull the oil drain plug just enough to let any water out that may have passed the rings. Then take all the spark plugs out and it will probably put out quite a black shower when you spin it. After you get it started warm it up good and kill it and change the oil if you drained any water. If there was no water in the crankcase the little that got past the rings will not hurt the engine.
Water can get in past a loose exhaust pipe, rain cap left off or open, but also from a muffler rusted through on the top of the muffler body where you might not even notice small holes. With steady rain you can get a lot of water through a rusted muffler. There is supposed to be a water drain in the manifold but most are plugged with rust.
