A Learjet 60 out of Austin, headed for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas, nose-dived at about 12:50pm Sunday near Military Trail and 10th Avenue North, Cresthaven/Greenacres — just missing homes at the edge of a mobile-home park, leaving a crater and a wide debris field. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed all nine aboard were killed; Gov. DeSantis said there were no reports of anyone on the ground killed or injured. Residents near the site are being relocated to shelters while the NTSB leads the investigation. ATC recordings cited by CNN have the pilots reporting icing, turbulence and precipitation before the steep descent — investigators have not named a cause, so don't treat the icing angle as settled.

Judge Sharon Gleason in Anchorage dismissed the Justice Department's suit to block Alaska from certifying its Senate race if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses, ruling the government failed the redressability test for standing: ballots cast for the other candidate, retired teacher Daniel J. Sullivan, are already commingled and can't be segregated without breaking ballot secrecy — the U.S. offered “no workable plan.” Dismissed without prejudice, re-amendment denied. DOJ filed a notice of appeal Sunday and says the court “did not dispute” its claim that “Decoy Dan” was planted to confuse voters; Mary Peltola's campaign denies any involvement, and no court has found the recruitment claim proven. The separate DOJ criminal probe continues. Election Day is tomorrow. Sources: Washington Examiner · NPR.

Mandatory evacuations ran across parts of Arizona and Colorado Sunday. In Pagosa Springs, Colorado, the San Juan River was forecast to crest around 19–22 feet late Sunday night — above the 1911 flood of record (17.8 ft) that wiped out most of the town. The Archuleta County Sheriff called it a “potentially catastrophic flood event” with extensive damage expected; Highway 160 into town was closed to inbound traffic. It is the town's second evacuation in about ten days. Sedona (Oak Creek) and Camp Verde, Arizona also ordered evacuations, and Tucson ran boat rescues — NWS Tucson put it at two to three months of rain in a couple of days. Damage reports land today.

Late Sunday Kyiv time, Ukraine's official Air Alert app pushed false warnings: a radiation threat in Kyiv, a chemical attack, street fighting, and a Russian-language taunt that an Oreshnik missile was on its way. The Air Force confirmed “hostile interference” within about ten minutes — there was no radiation threat — and the app was taken offline; the separate siren system kept working, though Lviv briefly played a radiation signal off the bad data. Kyiv blames Russia, an attribution claim not yet independently proven. Hours later, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said its own app suffered a “massive cyberattack” pushing false information; a pro-Ukrainian partisan group claimed that one, unverified. Sources: Reuters.

S&P 500 futures rose 0.5% and Nasdaq futures 0.9% in Asia Monday after the Nasdaq's worst month since April 2025 (about -7% in October, on AI capex and cash-burn fears). Brent fell 3.3% to $109.70 a barrel and US crude 3.4% to $100.58 as Iranian–Qatari mediator talks continued — still up 13.6% in October, with tankers still being attacked in the Gulf. Apple earnings later today are the session's test (consensus about $2 EPS). ISM manufacturing today, payrolls Friday. Fuel read: crude eased overnight, but at $100-plus it is not relief at the pump yet. Sources: Reuters.

Reported by the Citrus County Chronicle (via its Muck Rack listing): the Inverness City Council will meet Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 5:30pm at the Valerie Theatre, 207 Courthouse Square — moved because the regular meeting date fell on Election Day — to finalize amendments to the current budget, including $18 million in previously unspent funds carried into the new fiscal year.
