While the worst might be Lah., the Kula region is still being sorted out.
I have been telling friends, who are not familiar with the island, that Lahaina is the Pacific's version of Key West.... rebuilding that (up to code.. which probably needs to be written) and culture is not going to be easy
It seems like Jeff likes attention - but this is a huge donation whether or not seeking attention
For Oprah - Steven Tyler, etc - I personally don’t need to read in a paper how much they donated - I’m confident they are donating substantial sums without reading about and hope celebrities aren’t harassed. Oprah has already been to one of the shelters
