Oprah Winfrey Criticized for Allegedly Blocking Access to Private Road From Wailea to Kula in Maui for People Trying To Reach Higher Ground After Tsunami Warning Issued for Hawaii

Oprah Winfrey is being criticised for allegedly blocking access to her private road from Wailea to Kula in Maui, which could provide a crucial escape route to higher ground amid the tsunami warning in Hawaii after an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula earlier today, July 30. Although she opened the road during the 2023 fires to aid evacuations, locals say it remains closed now, causing frustration amid gridlocked streets. One resident, stuck with her children, described hearing sirens and having no way out, blaming the closure for delaying evacuation. The closed road has sparked calls for Oprah to open it immediately to help people escape the threat. Tsunami Warning List of Countries Facing Threat: Russia, Japan, US and More on High Alert as Tsunami Warnings, Advisories and Alerts Issued Across the Pacific After 8.8 Magnitude Earthquake Struck Kamchatka.
