Most of the houses I have helped in have 1 to 4 GFCI receptacles in the garage, these then feed the post lamp, outdoor receptacles around the house and the other receptacles in the garage. There are 2 buttons on the GFCI, Test and reset. Depending on the exact GFCI there may be red and or green lights.
I am guessing that an outdoor outlet is not working after that very heavy rain, so go to the garage and check all of the GCFI units, if you reset a GFCI and it trips immediately or repeatedly then you will need to have that circuit tested. I would start at the outside receptacles. I have found these get corroded and then cause the GFCI to trip.
