Has anyone been keeping track of the lava flow?

I have a 3D topographic map of the Big Island in my classroom, today we got it out and tried to figure out which way things would flow. While it does not have every bump and wrinkle of the actual island it is pretty accurate. It looks like the lava is flowing on one side of a broad ridge, with a very shallow slope that runs to the ocean through Pahoa and Hawaiian Beaches/Shores. Past Highway 130 the slope really flattens out and the lava could spend years pooling here and there before it gets to the ocean, depending on lava tube formation of course.
