@ai6yr I worked for the FAA, on call one night in Maine, and ATC buzzed pager at 2am: Cat III localizer down, airplane in holding pattern. Raining buckets, just miserable visibility. I go out and reset a circuit breaker then try to figure out why it flipped. Everything is fine. Signal levels out on rainy runway all good. ATC is asking if it'll be much longer since they have to deal with the jet. I certify and put back in service, fingers crossed. Probably not 2 hour hold but it seemed like an eternity.
@ai6yr Right? Nearby lightning strike causing power surge? I stayed in equipment shed for a while during and after the plane landing just to keep an eye on things.
