When I first went into KRT about three years ago. There was no paint on the runway at all and an aircraft that appeared to have overun the threshold & come to rest had people camped under the wing.

They have spent some money and painted markers and have had radar installed but I sometimes wonder as to whether they know how it works.

As said, everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt there. Best to do the procedure, ignore the 'vectors' and as for the 'latest' tower wx, it could be anything. More than two aircraft at a time and the ATC can't cope.

What ever the cause, the place and everything that goes on there is shonky.

It's the same in a lot of venues out that way.
