California: Another storm has hit California with spectacular lightning, thunderclaps and downpours, but evacuations were cancelled Wednesday as significant debris and mud flows did not materialise.

Numerous traffic accidents, localised street flooding and canyon rock falls snarled Los Angeles area traffic, but conditions were diminishing to showers as the system moved east.

The National Weather Service reported "copious" lightning strikes as the long plume of Pacific moisture approached the coast late Tuesday.

The weather service said it was "one of the more electrically active systems" seen all winter.

1. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau walks out for press conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"What has become clear through the various testimonies is that over the past months there was an erosion of trust between my office and specifically my former principal secretary and the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General. I was not aware of that erosion of trust. As prime minister and leader of the federal ministry I should have been."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"Many people have been sharing their advice perspectives and experience with me over these past weeks. What is clear is that there are many different styles of and approaches to leadership. There's one theory that the most effective leaders are adversarial and almost tough to a fault. That's not what I believe. I believe that real leadership is about listening, learning and compassion. It's about the push and pull of robust discourse and honest debate. It's about transparency and accountability."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"I said to her that I was preoccupied by the number of jobs involved in this, in Quebec and obviously across the country. This is something that I was clear on and then I asked her even though I heard that she had made a decision. She indicated to me that she, she had made a decision. I asked her if she could revisit that decision, if she was open to considering to looking at it once again. And she said that she would."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"As we look back and as we hear her testimony as I understand she went back and revisited it over the following days and reconfirmed her decision for herself and then felt that it was inappropriate when we continued to talk about it and have conversations about it over the course of the fall. I wish she had come forward to me in the fall, subsequent to that meeting to highlight that. She did not and that quite frankly is something that I am reflecting on as a leader."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"One of the things central to my leadership is fostering an environment where my ministers, caucus and staff feel comfortable coming to me when they have concerns. Indeed I expect them to do so. In Ms. Wilson-Raybould case, she did not come to me and I wish she had, because if it's a real relationship and if we truly are a team, we can always acknowledge when we need to make adjustments. Things won't always be perfect, but there should remain a constant level of openness and dialogue. And that dialogue is crucial on a file as important as justice."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"In regards to standing up for jobs and defending the integrity of our rule of law. I continue to say that there was no inappropriate pressure. I'm obviously reflecting on lessons learned through this and I think Canadians expect that of us that any time we go through periods of internal disagreement and indeed challenges to internal trust as we have, there are things that we have to reflect on and understand and do better next time."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada:
"In regards to the choice that Canadians are going to be able to make this coming fall, I look forward to the opportunity to highlight what we are continuing to doing, what we continue to learn as we move forward in ways of better serving Canadians. But I'm very confident in our approach that has delivered tangibly and concretely for Canadians on economic growth, in regards to reconciliation, in regards to protection of the environment, on the things that matter deeply to Canadians."
13. Trudeau walks out
STORYLINE:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has taken many lessons from a Cabinet controversy that has shaken Canada's government in an election year, but he isn't apologizing.
Trudeau said on Thursday there was an "erosion of trust" and a "lack of communication" between his office and former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, who says Trudeau and senior members of his government inappropriately tried to pressure her to avoid criminal prosecution of a Canadian company.
The prime minister and his aides deny that, saying they were only pointing out that prosecution could endanger thousands of people's jobs.
Trudeau says Wilson-Raybould did not come to him to express her concerns but wishes she had.
