Check out the new images at the USGS here:

Since they just did an overflight (pictures above), I anticipate they will provide an updated map today or tomorrow. I did see a note from their main volcano guy in a recent news article that he expects the flow to just get wider and spread out a lot, and that he doesn't think it will threaten lower Puna. One thing is that the area near the flow is relatively flat, which means the flow isn't going to move fast at all.

Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.
