It rained right after my 1st seasoning, should I do it again?

A little context to the title. I followed all the steps after I set up my blackstone. I wiped down with soapy water, dried it, started the burners on high, waited 15 minutes, then did 5 thin layers, waiting for the smoke to burn off before applying a new layer.

After this was done, I got excited and started cooking breakfast. Had a whole slab of bacon on one side. About halfway into this, Florida decided to be Florida and it suddenly starts raining right on top of my beautifully-seasoned griddle.

I scrambled to cover the thing and turn the burners off, and by the time the rain stopped, I had some nice, soggy bacon and a ton of grease, with a few patchy spots where the rain got into the grease and oil.

I cleaned it up and its been *fine* for the past couple days, cooked an amazing steak, etc. etc. But I'm wondering if its worth completely reseasoning the thing from scratch this weekend?

I wouldn't care if this happened after the griddle went through a few cooks, but this was literally 20 minutes after the very first seasoning, and didnt get a chance to cool. Am I just being paranoid?
