far from an expert here...
but heres my take and opinion.... its going slow not enough volume, and it would have to sustain good flow for quite a while for the tube to form that far... I bet it peters out soon...... some people are saying Pahoa Ainaloa Makuu because the topographical maps show that way as more downhill than towards Kalapana, Eden Roc, HA, etc. but you never know it may stay on flat ground or run into a channel so can change direction i guess, its not real steep over there ...looks like most of that area is about 1-2 miles for 200' drop in elevation, unlike Holei Pali which has areas that drop over 1,000' in less than a mile, most of the flows in last 30+ years have been towards the Holei Pali area (south) which is quite steep (for Puna) until the flats of the shore.
same with before that ca1970 when Mauna Ulu went off with its 1500'+ fountain and filled in all those craters and is the flow you see in the lower part of the park now...
it changes all the time, even in recorded history

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
