Think fast: What would you take?

Threat of fire in Portland is manageable. We are safe. It is extremely smoky, making an eerie scene in Portland where any sunny day would bring families out of their homes to enjoy the nice weather. But, the streets are empty. Reports of “worse air quality in the world “ has kept folks indoors for the last week.  Rain was in the forecast yesterday and today, but, no rain. Just smoke.  The danger is still high in rural Oregon. Several communities have been destroyed. And the fires are still burning.  We in the Northwest appreciate your concern and good positive energy. Thank you!
 

A quick update: we’ve had sunshine since Friday. A bit of rain and wind came along and cleared the skies above Portland.  As most people know, there are still fires throughout Oregon and California.  My audio friend down in Gold Hill- stay safe and ready. Lots of devastation around you. Medford, Talent...
 Many thanks to this great community for suggesting what’s important and what to take in an hours notice.  This is helpful for everyone- flooding down in Texas (Stevie country),  don’t stand next to THAT fire in the Great Northwest (Jimi country), hurricanes in Southeast (Jaco country)...
 Now that our long hot summer is fading away, I hope we can enjoy our music and this wonderful hobby. 

there is no METHod
to this madness...
especially as we appreciate the lack of wind ( high winds caused the fire to rage last week) but what is needed to blow the smoke out.  Typical humanoids, we want it all!

Lots of great advise. Thanks to this great community.
I considered packing a few LPs and CDs. 
In my original post I alluded to riots which "sparked" some ranting.  But, this is not about riots. Mea culpa.
 It's about us as audiophiles. Is there anything in your system, collection, equipment that you'd want to grab and take with you? Maybe a photo. Maybe a rose (Solomon Burke was passing out roses and reached out to me. Stopped. Handed it to his daughter and told her to give it to me. The crowd cheered. Maybe a piece of cake that Billy Preston gave to me during a concert. It was his birthday.  But, I ate it.)
 Anyway, if I still had a 45 I bought way back when I was young- For What It's Worth, might be appropriate for this thread...
"there's battle lines being drawn, nobody's right, when everybody's wrong..."

So many good people in our audio community. Thank you for your encouragement and excellent ideas.
 As I stated earlier, one dear friend lost everything . 2 others are at level 2. Local news says Portland has the worst air quality in the world ( they like drama). It certainly looks that way.
 Funny note- I was at a friends house yesterday helping him with audiophile issues and my neighbor called to tattle -tale on my wife."She's outside in the yard with no mask, this smoke is bad for her lungs!" It's nice to have such neighbors. 
 Luckily, the winds have died down. Forecast is for some rain on Monday and Tuesday.
 Some folks suffer earthquakes, floods, hurricanes... We are all in this together.
 Enjoy a good tune for me and Imagine.
 

Daddog,
 Good to hear "all is good". Hang in there.

Thanks Nonoise. Wise words.
Chuck, of course I'm serious. No need to get into politics. There are fires all over Oregon right now. It blows in the wind and destroys homes and lives. That's it. 
 You're  an audio friend and I hope you are safe. One of my friends  lost his home, excellent stereo system and animals. A couple are close to evacuating as I type. 
 bdp24 smells it in the air. 
I can barely see across the street, let alone breath outside.
 Just a very simple question- what among  your audio goodies would you take if you had to go?

 

Hey Ya'll,

 Thank you so much for the good advice. Understandably, things audio are not at the forefront. I agree. All that stuff is replaceable. And just think of all the friendly, non-politcal, non-insulting advise we could get on this forum when we shop for replacing our audio stuff.

 Update since the fires- one of my audio buddies lost EVRYTHING. He lives near the  Santiam River. He is rebuilding. Not only is he an audiophile, he is also a master machinist. On his property he had a large workshop- several lathes, CNC machine, numerous irreplaceable tools. All of it melted. Of course his house was completely destroyed. On an audio related note, over the past few years he designed and built a few mechanisms for world class builder/designers. 

 A few weeks ago, we had a potluck at my house for him. One request I had was to bring any LPs, CDs that we could donate to him as he rebuilds his collection. His big smile was proof that we hit a good nerve.

Again, we really appreciate the good vibrations sent our way from all of you.

Life is short and fragile. Enjoy the music.
