If there were no time I'd grab the medicines and the fur babies. A little more time and I'd grab the pictures and computers. More than that I'd grab my quilts and my machine along with office documents. Everything else is just stuff. Heck, its all stuff.... just the degree of hardness in replaceing it.

We had a ground fire about 20 years ago and almost lost our house. Actually our house is the first one our volunteer fire crew saved ever saved at the time. God bless them. I didn't even think of my sewing machines only of my pets, the cat and dogs. They were the first things I stuffed into the car. The cat's eyes were so big and he was so scared, poor kitty. One side of our house got scorched, the flames got that close and one of the windows cracked from the heat. We had some smoke damage but nothing that soap and water couldn't clean up.

i would grab a sewing machine if i had time.

Last summer we were on alert for forest fires in the Central Interior that were very close to our home. My quilts were boxed and ready to go on a moments notice and so were both of my sewing machines. For a few days the quilts were actually in the trunk of the car along with other supplies that we have on hand every summer now. Be prepared :)
