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.

"Just to be clear here
Audio is one of the last things that would enter my head in that situation.
All material possessions that can be replaced, your life cannot."

Finally, someone who lives just a bit little outside of this self indulgent bubble of ours here....

Once again, mc yammer confirms to all that he is certifiable. This could be a cooking site and he'd pollute it with his insanity. It won't be long before he comes out of the closet as a dyed in the wool Q-anon nut job. Speaking of which, authorities are being deluged with phone calls and emails from Q-anon whackos about groups they don't like starting all the fires, tying up the lines. Pathetic.

All the best,
Nonoise

I've been on Audiogon since December 2000 since then I've never reported a post until this thread I reported two by Millercarbon. Just stop it no one wants to hear your politics and ranting.

I'm here to learn and discuss audio and, when appropriate, express sympathy and commonsense advice. Anyone who needs to rant about Marxists, Capitalists, Republicans, Democrats, Fascists, Bolsheviks, has plenty of spaces online to do that.

Really -- why must politics get into everything? And why do it here? Moreover, why *insist* on doing it here? And repeatedly?

jond,
Fine but just making certain that you would have reported any post mentioning politics from any perspective. Not so sure that others on this forum would be consistent in this regard. Cue the mention of Qanon... not helping.

Had the OP not mentioned riots in the same sentence as natural events I doubt miller would have posted a response.
