Has anyone been keeping track of the lava flow?

I'm not taking a position on the effectiveness of bombing one face of Pu'u O'o to send the lava in another direction, but if that cone is within National Park boundaries I think hell would freeze over before that level of interference with a natural feature within the park would ever happen. In addition there is the question of liability if people's property in the newly created lava path was destroyed. Bombing Pu'u O'o could release a lot of lava all at once, which might make it hard to predict where it would go. If Kaimu got wiped out as a result, for example, there would be some real liability and ethics questions about people choosing who the winners and losers were going to be. Who decides who suffers from the eruption?
