A fourth form secondary school student died after he was crushed by a boulder as he tried to alleviate flooding in his home during the passage of Matthew as a tropical storm. In Buccament Bay, a neighbouring village in Central Leeward, several people abandoned their homes and sought refuge in emergency shelters as the river nearby again overran its bank. There were reports of flooding in a number of areas, as well as landslides and power outages.

On 24th and 25th December 2013 a tropical trough system produced heavy rains in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). Local rainfall stations reported between 200mm and 310mm in a matter of 2 – 3 hours on the north windward side of the island and up to 153.3mm in the north leeward side of the island, which resulted in intense flooding across the island.

A couple of hours after its center departed Barbados, Tomas became a hurricane. The eye of the hurricane moved over the northern coast of St. Vincent around 2000 UTC 30 October, while the intense northern eyewall passed over St. Lucia. Tomas was at its peak intensity of 85 kt during that time. Tomas downed trees and power lines, ripped off roofs, and knocked out power. No casualties were reported.
