In today's (Apr 23) HERALD, there is a front page story titled "Squall was predicted three days in advance". It seems the Navy in Goa (Vasco) had issued warnings to Dabolim about the impending squall. But it apparently did not communicate its findings to the Met office in Panjim, being content to inform the Met Office in Delhi as per bureaucratic procedure prescribed for all Met offices, civilian and military. To find out what the Navy's Met office knew, the Panjim office had to request information from Delhi (which apparently it didnt do because "it didnt know what it didnt know"!). The rest as they say is history! :(
