Help For The Desert Sun

I saw this story online last night and thought that, just maybe, it was only a typo that would be fixed by morning. But again the Desert Sun has proven me to be incorrectly optimistic.

"Desert Sun readers reached out via Twitter, though, to ask about a bright flash that came from northwest, possibly near Joshua Tree."

This is the second time in the recent memory that the Desert Sun has put something in the high desert northwest of DHS. There have been many other times when they've rotated the compass wildly. So I've made this helpful little map. I've centered the compass on Desert Hot Springs, but you can, using your own powerful imagination, visualize it centered on any other city in the Coachella Valley. In all cases you will see that Joshua Tree is in the northeast or southeast quadrant. Of course, you know where Joshua Tree is, and I know where it is...but maybe no one at the Desert Sun knows. Has anyone ever actually seen a Desert Sun reporter in the national park?
Northwest Northeast Southwest Southeast

BTW, I noticed the power surge/failure thingie. The refrigerator stopped humming, the lights blinked, and I heard both of my UPSs click on for a few seconds. But things were normal again in less than a minute.
