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 would not stop driving until I was out of the state to never return
Why stop there?

How about a moment of audiophile unity?   With no classless booing.

hilde45 is completely correct. 

anotherbob,
Thank you for what you have done to help the citizens. I think your opinion on some of these issues perhaps could be the most pertinent as you have first hand experience.

anotherbob, you seem to live in a binary world. Only two sides, no nuance. You betray your limited world view by seeing anyone who disagrees with you as "liberal". You fail to see, let alone acknowledge, the steeped history of oppression and it's results, but complain about them as if they were the origins of the problem.

As for the bomb proof hood, it was a locking mechanism that made it impossible for anyone to install a bomb to the motor from above, with the hood open. I'd ask, how can you be so dense but I already know.

I had no idea how many knuckle dragging, kool-aid drinking, brainwashed, conspiracy theorists were here and I must admit, it's a bit unsettling. Now I'm certain that there are Qanon whackos here on A'gon, who truly believe the world is run by an elite cabal of cannibalistic pedophiles who drink the blood of children from the underground sex ring they run and that Trump knows of this and is presently fighting them.

That makes about as much sense as people and rural PDs issuing warnings of antifa going around starting fires and looting, resulting in armed idiots in fire zones setting up check points and accosting people.

All the best,
Nonoise
