"I can't quite shake the feeling of intention by this lava flow."
As some of us will recall, a year or two before the lava took Kalapana, including Walter's store in 1990, a large group of squatters had started camping next to the large tide pool at the base of the cliffs.
They caused problems, including the spread of hepatitis because of poor sanitation.
After the eruption, old timers repeatedly asserted that "Pele cleaned out the hippie squatters."
That was quite an assertion of intention also.
