No.. rain would probably do them good in the curing process

Absolutely not. When I built segmental concrete bridges, it would often rain when we would make a closure pour between cantilevers. But we never put it off because of the rain. The show must go on, as they say.

Not at all. When I poured mine, the ground water rose over the top of the forms. I still poured. House is standing for 20 years.
Actually cures faster and harder when wet. Cement is calcium carbonate, and lime that bonds with water.

Depends on how stiff and how long prior to the rain. More then likely I would say no, but I would ask the local building inspecters office just to be safe

You could have a problem if they did not get a chance to set up a bit, the top layer of the footing will flake off- but it will still be sound.
