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.

If only California, Oregon, and Washington had taken the advice of the wise one and raked the forest floors, over half of which is federally managed. He no doubt would love to see the tapes Putin has on him burning ;-) .

Excellent @nonoise.

The sky here in Southern Washington State remains amber. I've always wondered what Earth would look like if a very large asteroid made it through the atmosphere. We could be the new dinosaurs.

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.
I just walked outside, and the smell of burning wood was in the air here in Vancouver, WA, just across the Columbia River from Portland. I still have a bunch of drums in storage down in Palm Desert, but there's nothing there that will burn. Just dirt, sand, and wind. And swimming pools, lots of them. All stucco buildings with tile roofs. It was over 120 degrees there a coupla day ago. Don't miss it at all!
