BREAKING NEWS: Hawaii ISSUES EMERGENCY EVACUATION ORDER – 1-METER Tsunami CRASHES IN! PEOPLE FLEE IN PANIC, OPRAH “LOCKS THE GATE” TO SAVE LIVES! Traffic jams are severe as Maui residents try to escape the coastal area to higher ground, but the inland route connecting Wailea to Kula — controlled by Oprah Winfrey…

Hawaii is on edge as emergency sirens wail across the islands, warning residents of incoming tsunami waves generated by a massive offshore earthquake. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has confirmed that waves reaching up to one meter are expected to strike multiple coastal areas, prompting a state-wide evacuation order.

While thousands rushed to higher ground, a shocking development has stirred anger and fear among locals: an escape route in one of the hardest-hit areas was reportedly blocked by fences surrounding private property allegedly owned by media mogul Oprah Winfrey. The road, according to residents, is a critical path that could have been used to evacuate dozens of families from low-lying neighborhoods now at risk of flooding.

Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes as water began creeping inland.

“We could see the waves coming. People were screaming, trying to drive out, but the road was closed off by a gate. Children were crying, everyone was panicking,” said Kimo L., a local resident who narrowly escaped.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show frantic residents confronting barriers and warning others to turn back. The footage has ignited a wave of outrage, with many questioning why the route remained inaccessible during a life-threatening emergency.

Local officials have not yet confirmed whether the property is indeed owned by Oprah, nor have they clarified why the road was not opened for evacuation. Calls for accountability are growing louder, as critics argue that private ownership should never stand in the way of public safety during a natural disaster.

Emergency services are racing against time to reach those still stranded, while helicopters scan flooded areas in search of survivors. Authorities have urged residents to stay away from the shoreline and move to the highest available ground.

Meteorologists warn that the first waves may only be the beginning. Larger, more dangerous surges could follow, putting lives at risk if evacuations are delayed. As Hawaii braces for the next onslaught, the controversy over the blocked escape route is adding fuel to the already tense situation.

With the clock ticking and the ocean rising, the question lingers: how many lives will be lost because a gate stood in the way?
