Caught a fence post rot problem 2 weeks before it collapsed on my shed

I was out back in Tulsa last month digging up an old rose bush when I bumped my shovel against the corner fence post. It sounded hollow. I kicked it and the bottom 6 inches just crumbled to dust. That post was holding up the whole side of my shed corner. If a storm had hit, the roof panel would've come down on my mower. I had to jack the shed corner up with a car jack, dig out the old concrete, and set a new treated post in quickcrete. Took me a whole Saturday. Now I'm walking the rest of the fence line tapping every post with a hammer. Has anyone else dealt with hidden rot that looked fine from the outside?
