Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can get pretty close in on Kingston Jamaica, but I realise I don't have much of an aerial sense of the city. I can find my home or office just by drilling down from county-wide maps, though.
Freeways help.

Poui is a large flowering tree. Ours is the yellow sort, and we associate its flowering with the rain. Those are the only trees big enough to pick out.

There's a big puffy solid white cloud over my Hawaii childhood house. And, a bit of a cloud over my sister's house in Kaneohe. Pesky clouds.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
