We landed at PHX one night in an MD80, We circled from the west landing to the west. On final approach to I think 26 we got an alert of east field boundry winds 090 30 knots. I went around and circled to 8. We touched down and all runway lights and tower com went down. We cleared the runway and heard the plane behind us say he had lost ILS and runway lights. Tower communications was out. He said I can't do the published missed approach but had to turn south because of weather. No response. 3 minutes later their backup com came on and we taxied to the gate and waited 2 hrs for the storm to pass. That is how you have to do it sometimes.
