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.

Many readers understand @audition__audio point.
Agreed. It is not difficult to see what is happening here.

If push came to shove, I would certainly box up my LP's and CD's before the hi-fi. Hi-fi can be replaced, 50 years of LP's and 30 of CD's impossible.

As an observer, jond’s point is that some take exception when the slant is to the right but not so much to the left. While I am generally disgusted with politics and don’t see the need for it here or any other entertainment venue, I believe he has a fair Right to respond when he sees things as one sided. Can we agree the world is biggest enough for opposing views? I am not addressing MC here, just jonds post. 
No noise, you posted this “Then, to add insult to injury, we normal folk have to sludge through all the right wing crap that follows.” 
Seems reasonable that Jond would view you as only concerned with muzzling of the right.

In my observing I have seen “crap” from both factions. Neither position has any place here.

Its not just happening here but all over the nation. No discourse encouraged nor tolerated by many. 

Jond I wouldnt suspect you would want to have this discussion.

My, my, how the apologists come out of the woodwork, again with the false equivalency. I've posted before how right wing dreck has polluted these threads for far too long and it was when I, and others, started to offer a counterpoint to it all, that's when the jumping on the tables and raising of skirts started.

Go back in the archives and read it for yourselves if you fell otherwise. One small faction has had a nice, long ride as long as no one spoke up. Now that they do, they get a good case of the vapors.

All the best,
Nonoise
