If you look at the map, the flow as of the 12th was still on the Mauka side of the rift zone. As it continued to push forward it presumably flowed down the path of least resistance (i.e downhill). Even if it goes down into a crack, which likely goes parallel with the rift, then when/if the lava does come out again it should still be on the Mauka side of the rift? Or it could just back-up again and create a new path as usual. 3 steps forward, 2 1/2 steps back...
Maybe USGS will update with a new map soon, and we can continue to anxiously speculate.
