Democrat Katie Hobbs’ campaign for Arizona governor has ended negotiations with the state commission overseeing candidate debates to come to an agreement that would see her face off with Republican Kari Lake. The decision means the public will not see the two on the same stage as they battle for the Arizona governor’s office. Sunday's announcement came after more than a week of efforts by Hobbs, currently secretary of state, to change the debate into separate half-hour interviews with the moderator. The Citizens Clean Elections Commission flatly rejected that proposal and gave Hobbs a week to negotiate minor changes to the planned Oct. 12 face-off. Lake had already agreed to the debate and has criticized Hobbs for backing out.

The school district Sunday afternoon announced the cancellation of Monday classes and said negotiations with the union were ongoing.

A single strike of lightning from a small Oregon storm and the ensuing thunder shook the city of Portland on Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service called it an unexpected “one-hit wonder” lightning strike that came from a small storm cell. Meteorologist Tyler Kranz said no more lightning was expected. The boom at 2:13 p.m. led to social media posts questioning whether it was thunder or possibly a meteorite. Kranz said a lightning detector registered a single strike of lightning at the same time the thunder was reported. He said it was a positive-charged, cloud-to-ground flash with a strong current, causing the unexpected boom.
