Fire in Agua Dulce

NASA’s high-resolution satellite flew over Southern California Sunday afternoon. This is what it saw. The fire you see outlined on the right side of the picture is burning in an area called Agua Dulce, which is south-by-southwest from Palmdale. You can see a little smudge that looks like a baseball diamond made of brown dirt on the eastern edge of the shot – that’s a dry lake located on Edwards Air Force Base. Draw a line from the northeastern corner of the fire zone near Agua Dulce to “home plate” on the dry lake, and that’s about where Soffit House is located.

UPDATE: My previous description of where my house would be located on the map is, as my friend Spungen points out, incomplete. Go about four-fifths of the way south along the line I describe from the dry lake to the outlined corner of the fire. According to an interactive map from Newsweek, the "Buckweed Fire" in Agua Dulce is about 13 miles from my home (Spungen's home is even closer to it than mine, unfortunately).
