For the time-pressed, here is Frank (yep, same Frank) giving a 7-minute talk in 2018 about Mauna Loa eruptions including flow rates, radial vents, and the Volcano to Keaau inundation zone.

HOTPE - a map that would show the breakout point only of each flow with a dot
I agree a map along these lines could be useful (although we know that various flows have returned to the caldera so there clearly isn't an ever-eastward trend across many flows) Unfortunately, I haven't found the digital assets to make such a map quickly, but will post an image or google map link if time and data allow. However, there might be printed publications that could answer this more readily?
dobanion - Lots of rumbling over by Pahala. A Kilauea eruption at the far end of the SW rift? 1823 repeat?
Quakes in this area have been tied to deep magma movements related to the resupply paths for Kilauea and possibly Mauna Loa. HVO did a Volcano Watch article on this recently.
