Hurricane Nicole has moved out of The Islands Of The Bahamas and an all clear has been issued for the entire Northwest Bahamas. Effective at 5 a.m. today (Thursday, November 10), hurricane warnings for Grand Bahama, Abaco and The Berry Islands, as well as the tropical storm warning for Bimini, had all been discontinued.
Officials said several airports reopened as of 8 a.m. on November 10:
* Andros: San Andros Airport (SAQ) (MYAN)
* The Berry Islands: Great Harbour Cay Airport (GHC) (MYBG)
* Eleuthera: Rock Sound Airport (RSD) (MYER)

Some airports remain closed, subject to additional review from assessment teams:

The Bahamas is an archipelago with more than 700 islands and cays, spread over 100,000 square miles; there could be a tropical storm or hurricane warning for parts of the country while other parts remain unaffected.
Things weren’t nearly as positive in Florida, where Nicole had moved to the west coast of the state and was centred north of Tampa. CNN was reporting two deaths in Florida due to the storm.
