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.

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.

And yet you came to his defense.
That explains the false equivalency you’re promoting.

All the best,
Nonoise

I didnt come to his defense I simply wanted to point out what I consider to be some of the indisputable realities of late. Had someone posted a rant against the far right would you have chimed in? This was my point. I will take you at your word.

Yes, you did. Jond and nonoise, I’ve been here 19 1/2 years and have never reported anyone, but hear and agree.
