“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.
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.
When did Oprah move “on” the island of Hawaii?
Kelly’s Kamchatka wavepool. If anti vaxa,on steroids get a free rubntug from his manservant belly.
Oprah’n up the road cunt!
8.8 is huge!! Tsunami hitting 100m from my doorstep at around midnight. 1ft surge at the most me thinks.
Pray for Negs! I hope your plants don’t get salty roots.

Is this the same Oprah ELO worked for?
The other one!
ELO-PRAH!
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 !
