A couple of days ago, San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood got a “Godspeed” text from Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña. He also got a similar text from Corpus Christi Fire Chief Robert Rocha, Hood said during an afternoon briefing on Harvey. But, oh, how the tables have turned. “They are going through those challenges (now) and I had to reciprocate with texts and phone calls to them because of what they are going through,” Hood said. “This is going to be a bigger rescue effort than Katrina just because of the consistent rain.”
