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.

Report! Report! Report!
Millercarbon has gotten under your skin.
Grow some balls and face the truth!
Peace out a**holes! (asterisks are mine, bimmer was kind enough to write it in its raw form)
bimmerman2,

How cute, miller has a drinking buddy.
And I see you have both taken the same eloquence class.
Next time you feel the need to be so toxic, save your breath.
You'll need it tonight to blow up your girlfriend...

Blaming specific races or political parties are ways to try to neatly dispense with complicated issues for one's own mental comfort. Some of us here are Republicans, some are Democrats, some are men, women, black, white, asian, etc. People are responsible as individuals for the specific things they do or fail to do, and blaming a group is scapegoating. And scapegoating is an individual act which is blameworthy. Those doing it need to look in the mirror and consider turning off the media and politicians feeding us these phrases. We must rid ourselves of anger and hate.

I would take my wife and my cats.
Not necessarily in that order.

Im with Miller on this one. 
I would arm myself, however the hose would be my second choice if my first choice didn't keep the fire far enough away from my house.
This is America and I'm not going to sit and watch it burn!

But,
You are sitting and watching it burn.
Unless you're standing.
Then you're standing and watching it burn.
Or else you mean you've just turned off the television.
