Pouring concrete, rain and floods

Hi all.

Quick question - how long after pouring concrete footings can they be exposed to significant rain? We poured the footings, they had 4 days to cure @ daytime temps of 50, nighttime temps upper 30 to 40 before the rain started. We have had 3 days of rain, approx 3-4"

Soil conditions are favorable in that there is good draining soil and the site is at the top of a hill. Should I be concerned that there was only 4 days of curing prior to rain? Should I be concerned only if the footing is currently underwater (flooded) ? Or does it really not matter after 4 days? Temps are not forecast to go anywhere near freezing in the future.

Thanks all !
