Think fast: What would you take?


I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires. 
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those. 
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.

Don’t underestimate fast moving monster fires, whatever you do.

Those who think they can sit there in front of their house and battle it with a hose have absolutely no clue. Take a few things and get the hell out of there early, Traffic!

Seeing what happened in Paradise CA two years ago, homes ground down to the ground for miles and miles. Some went back, grabbing one last thing or stayed - did not get out.
