Private road on Oprah Winfrey’s estate in Maui was closed during a tsunami
Accusations that a private road on Oprah Winfrey’s estate in Maui was closed during a tsunami warning were refuted by a statement issued by the estate’s staff, who claimed they immediately cooperated with FEMA to open the road. The Maui Police Department also confirmed that the road was open for access. The statement aimed to dispel social media rumors that Winfrey had closed the road, emphasizing that she had not. The incident occurred following a tsunami alert triggered by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, prompting evacuations in Hawaii, the U.S. West Coast, and Japan.
