As far as I know, UVF was closed due to damage from Tomas - runway supposedly flooded and the terminal damaged. Work is still being done to re-open as soon as possible. There is also a problem with access from the south to the north as many roads and bridges have been washed out.
The SLASPA is trying to make arrangements for passengers to be flown to/from GFL Charles airport for access to the north side hotels.
The island took a hard hit from Tomas, with the northern eye-wall passing over the south side of the island with 100mph winds.
The north side of the island suffered much less damage.
