We were ready to go, too. This is what we planned to take: Our suitcases. Plenty of water. Energy bars. Supplies for the cat (and the cat). Checkbook, wallet, credit cards, keys. As Dave said, photos of everything (on the phone). Chargers, cables; a laptop; and the NAS with all our data backups, unplugged and carried with us in the back of the car.
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.
