Carol, mahalo for your opinion in this. It's a tough call (as of this hour, it is being discussed).
Pahoa town is much like Hilo town was in those days. I have my own personal opinion on this, but wanted some sense of what others think, feel, and believe is the right thing to do.
When this story about diversion was told to me (at a very young age), there were mixed opinions in our own house. Jaggar was an "icon" of sorts. The kanaka maoli side, not so much.
In reflection, kupuna know best. This may become a complete cleansing of Puna. Simply speaking, the elements (the wind, the rain, the ocean, and the lava) have dictated. All we can do is react.
FWIW. JMO. Be safe, amongst all else.
