glen,
I enjoyed the program too ... although such programs get my parents worked up about where I live ...
As you know, Jim's document outlines the tube/pahoehoe flow as one of three possible developments -- as of last August. It will be interesting to see when he updates to reflect the potential as an actuality.
As has been noted, it's kind of soon to see whether that's going to sustain and start traveling. It could all stop in its tracks.
I looked at Jim's "pink" lines of least resistance traveling from the current northeast finger -- and what I see is that one line goes down to the southern edge of HPP and the other to Hawaiian Beaches .. with maybe a side branch into Nanawele.
But as he says, the lava flow changes the topography as it goes, so the pink lines are only good for saying which way it would go if the flow didn't build up new areas.
