Narrative:
On the takeoff roll, I lost forward visibility and aborted the takeoff. Tower advised that a couple of runway lights were out and should check the aircraft for damage. No damage was found on the aircraft, but was advised that there were some runway lights damaged. Rain or water on runway caused the visibility to be lost. I was not very familiar with the airport or txwys. The next takeoff was uneventful.
