Its not a question of not seeing the T-vasis, its the lack of lighting on the approach path that leads to the black hole effect. Combined with the rubber deposits on the runway that obscure the centreline and touchdown markings and you have the potential for getting out of shape very quickly. If you are landing on Rwy 24 then I doubt that heavy rain is going to be a problem.
