What would you grab???

Due to what is happening in Ft. Mac...
I got to thinking.....

you got a knock on the door...and were told you have 30 minutes to pack your things and evacuate..leave...not knowing if you'll ever be back..

What do you take??

I can honestly say..other than my family and my dogs..
I'm drawing a blank

Family photos and security boxes with important papers.
Everything else can be replaced.

My hard drives with every single picture I have ever taken.
Some one-of-a-kind mementos from my travels.
A few keepsakes from my deceased parents.
Maybe a few books that are of significance to me.
That's probably about it.
Could all fit in a backpack.

It would be a panic attack I'm sure. But if I left my hobby phone behind I would sure be piss'd.

Why would you save a weed? They're everywhere. Chances are good it would survive.

I see what you did there!
Is that sarcasm? Or humour?
Or sarcastic humour?
Humourous sarcasm?

Hard drives (the computer can be replaced), then essentials - clothes, phone, and a laptop

your question made me realize I don't have a HD enclosure. hmm

If I were being evacuated from a specific area, I would personally skip the replaceable stuff (clothes, laptop, possibly even phone).
Once you get to safety, you can easily acquire that stuff.
My concern would be non-replaceable things... hard drives, some paperwork, mementos.

If I were evacuating because of nuclear disaster or zombie apocalypse... whole different list of priorities.

Great question.

I would grab essentials that would be needed in the short and long term, any meds that you take daily, a weeks worth of clothes and toiletries. Any laptops and the tower from the home PC.

 

[AmiAndrews]

Definitely a great question. My heart goes out to those in Fort Mac. The footage from those that are evacuating is just astonishing, they're driving right beside a wall of flames. Insanity.
Aside from the little things, like a change of clothes and toiletries to get through a day or so, I'd grab my passport and ID. My laptop because it has all of my photos and memories of my mom. Her rings.
Everything else can be replaced.

This. I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself lately and this disaster puts everything in perspective. I can't imagine what they are going through. So sad.
