Photos of passengers walking back to the terminal show wet runway.
Met wxr indicated very heavy rainfall, possible 1in/hr (2in over 6 hrs forecast)
Is the runway concrete as suggested by sat pictures?
Is the runway surface grooved?
Heavy rubber deposits shown on several sat pictures.
Aircraft off the side of the runway opposed to overrunning the end?

The runway is rough, concrete and 10500ft long.
No sign of significant rubber deposits when I was there yesterday.
