Over fertilizing outcome ...Help

I made a very rookie mistake today. I bought vigoro fertilizer (fall- 12-0-18 , large granular)

-read the instructions. poured it in the hopper.
- covered it with a garbage bag because it was pouring rain all day.
- set it on 16 ( as the bag stated ) and away i went.
- It was supposed to cover my whole yard and then some..
- It ran out about half way through.

The problem was that I have a scotts drop spreader / Not one of the cil, vigoro, etc.. So my setttings were way off. It was supposed to be 5 not 16.

Im hoping the heavy rain , large granulars will prevent my lawn from burning.

anything i could do? anything...

thanks

What was the bag size in pounds? How big is your yard in sq ft?
