Oprah's Private Road Access Plea Amid Tsunami Threat

“If Oprah’s road was open, I could have a way to get out. Instead we will just hope and pray we still have time to get to higher ground.”

Panic in Da Islands after a tsunami warning was issued for Hawaii following a magnitude-8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.

The quake, one of the strongest recorded, generated a confirmed tsunami, verified by ocean buoys, with waves expected to reach Hawaii around 7:17 p.m. HST, starting in Hanalei, Andy Irons’ ol stomping ground in Kauai.

Tsunamis are anything but an abstract concept in Hawaii. Since 1946’s Aleutian Islands’ tsunami that killed over 150 people in Hilo on the Big Island and described by survivors as “a great big black wall” over 220 people have died due to tsunamis.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which was set up after 1946, issues these periodic warnings, advising a swift move to higher ground and to stay away, naturally, from beaches, marinas and harbours.

Residents on Hawaii, howevs, have run into a little road block. According to posts on X, Oprah Winfrey, the great talk show host, the gal who played the resilient, defiant, unyielding, Sofia in 1985’s The Colour Purple, her famous quote “Hell no!” quickly adopted by African Americans as a catchphrase, has not opened her private road, which would allow residents to get the hell to higher ground real quick.

BREAKING: Oprah HAS NOT opened her private road from Wailea to Kula, Hawaii, which would allow coastal folks to reach higher ground quickly, locals tell me

OPEN THE ROAD, @OPRAH!

Roads on Maui are GRIDLOCKED as people try to escape the incoming Tsunami

“I’m stuck with my children in the truck with sirens going off,” Maui resident Shelby Hosana tells me “If Oprah’s road was open, I could have a way to get out. Instead we will just hope and pray the first wave time estimates are correct and we still have time to get to higher ground.”

Thoughts?

I also liked Whoopi Goldberg’s Celia in The Colour Purple, her journey from timid, voiceless teen, sexually abused by her step-daddy, forced to marry the abusive Albert, hit with endless misogyny, racism and into empowered independent woman is one of the great cinematic journeys.

Shug Avery, she cool too. One of the prettiest ladies you’ll ever see.

This creature owns over 2000 acres of Maui land, much purchased just before the Kula and Lahaina fires. Most of her land is Farm (AG) land and she does nothing to benefit the people of Maui or the Hawaiian community…..except hire them as security.

Um, Maui and she opened it.

Fear is the key. And this was exaggerated beyond belief. Feel for anyone who let this effect their lives today. Though it can be understandable as things are right now. If HB gets above 2 foot this week then maybe that’s a
positive.

7:17pm HST was half an hour ago.

Hopefully by now a massive tidal wave has gone past Kauai and swept over the whole north shore of Oahu, flattening all houses on the seaward side of Kamehameha highway, especially Ke11y’s.

Bring back quonset huts !
