After a class V hurricane warning, if you have to evacuate your house, what do you take? Clothes for a week? Clothes for a month? Beloved belongings? Favorite books? Not enough time to pack the whole household, but how do you decide what is most valuable to your lifestyle?

I thought about this during the last hurricaine. I don't care that much about the stuff I own, so I could easily pack up my little car with what's important.
I know I'd take anything important that's related to my work, but that's easy, it's just a computer (or even just the backup hard drive) and a small stack of papers.
I'd bring the laptop because it's got all my photography on it. I'd try to save a couple of my paintings. I could bring all my clothes since I don't have many. A couple blankets, some food and water, bathroom stuff like shampoo for a hopeful shower, and the usual like the camera and cell phone and their chargers. I bet I could even stick the bike in the truck for emergency transportation.
No esta mucho en mi casa.
a bottle of jim beam, a blanket, a shot gun, and the ole six-string
(same as i'd bring when the aliens come)
Since I've actually had to evacuate (during a flood - we left when the river took our neighbor's house), the list was pretty small: People, pets, enough clothes for a week, and all the vehicles we had drivers for. Everything else is replacable.
We spent ten days not knowing if our house still stood and then a month after that making the house livable again once the five feet of water was pumped out and the mold dealt with.
