...to evacuate your home before it was to be destroyed by a hurricane, what 5 things would you grab? (not including people or pets)
how big is my car? do I get a truck? does everything have to be secured down because I'll be fleeing quickly, or can I have stuff sticking out of the back of an suv?
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

1. My box of "things to grab if the house starts on fire" I kid you not, I have one of these. It sits on my desk. In it...the types of things that are irreplaceable. Ticket stubs, love letters, notes from friends who have since passed away, newspaper clippings...
2. My computer
3. Cell phone (it's my life line!! Plus then I can call someone to put out the fire...)
4. As many posters as I can grab.
5. Everything else can be replaced.
I live in a 120+ year old Victorian mansion (well...the downstairs of it)...so frankly I wouldn't have 15 minutes..haha This place is like kindling...and my roommate is a pyromaniac drunk. Not a good combination.

15 minutes is just enough time, I think, to get all that crap out of the apartment and outside. Of course, if a hurricane hit, all that stuff would just be lying around outside and get destroyed anyway. :fp:
Let's just pretend it's a magic hurricane that will only destroy my home and all my crap I quickly hauled outside strewn along the street and sidewalks is safe.

Since my neighborhood likely wont see a hurricaine... I'm taking the liberty to imagine myself 15 minutes from the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano.
Kids and wife having boarded the escape vehicle...
safe
cat
woman
computer and backup HD
cars
that's about 3 minutes of work, so i'd go back for the booze and beer.
insurance can take care of the rest.
good to see that the cat rates higher than the woman...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
My Cedar Chest,My old VCR recordings of the Kids.
My Dad's Paintings,My Pets. And Old Family Photos that my Mom left me
Of her youth and Ours. Hell! thats what I'd take in a break-up
My Lamp,and my Paddleball, and that's all I need.
My purse (this is a good one - it's got my wallet and my phone in it!)
See, I just assume that I'm always carrying my phone and walllet on me, and wouldn't need to worry about grabbing it. That being said, a purse is a pretty fantastic means of sneaking more stuff out! Too bad I'm a guy and don't have a purse. :(
But then again, I do have a pretty fantastic backpack ... :think:
