So I have one run of 92 feet left. I set 2 corner posts last night and the storm hit. The concrete feels hard this morning but the ground is soaked and the holes and filled with water. I really have to get this fence done by tomorrow. Is it advisable to set the other posts in this slop?

You can add the dry concrete to the hole and stir with a stick. It will set but might take longer than normal.

Is the ground hard enough to hold up the post for 12hours? Concrete loves water so if that's your concern go for it.

eta: the above is all I've ever done. Put a little soap in the hole and the dry mix will suck the water right up.
