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.

. No question I would take my guns and amo so I could Rittenhous any rioters I came across on the way.
My vote for most STUPID statement in this thread yet!!

Kyle Rittenhouse was attacked, chased, knocked to the ground and beaten by rioters, some of them armed. From on the ground still under attack he finally shot in self defense, and certainly in fear for his life, only the most dangerous and determined of his attackers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOpW9lEEsDo

To say say you would "Rittenhouse any rioters" is saying you would defend yourself if attacked. To call defending yourself stupid, is beyond stupid. It is almost beyond belief. But the nonsense some people on this thread are willing to believe is truly off the charts and so I guess at this point to be expected. 

As Orwell said, "To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle." Never more so than with some of the people on this thread.

Those of you with guns and hoses...  Keep that hose going until the utilities stop working. Which will happen. Its a FOREST FIRE, schiit tends to not work. And then, you can get your guns out and try to shoot out the flames. GENIUS. MC, some folks might think you are a truly "special" human being. Some, might argue, the reason why your country is so messed up, is because of people who think such as you.

We all know the correct answer. Family, pets, documents, photos. Having lived through 3 hurricane evacuations, I would say there are some material things that will help you rebuild your life sooner. Amp #1. Speakers #2 if you love them. Everything else take pictures of for insurance and let go and move on. Godspeed to you.

Interesting that all sides have a version of the boogie man.........a word of advice even though many of you are too enlightened to be given any........”THEY” is a dangerous word used by dangerous people who want to denigrate large swaths of a population. Pick your historical monster- each used this word effectively. 
I am on a roll.......so one more.......getting in the last word is an invitation to play ping pong. 
Feel free to let loose your Kraken. I am busy worrying about my kid in Oregon. See some of you on another thread. Peace

Lets agree to disagree MC.
Politics and audio are never a good mix.
