We grabbed the critters and got out with the clothes on our backs. There wasn't a second to grab anything else as we stood outside waiting for the fire trucks to arrive. It was such a frightening and helpless feeling!<br /><br />Pat<br />www.critteralley.blogspot.comPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-66199525884259552482010-09-28T07:43:28.783-05:002010-09-28T07:43:28.783-05:00Hi All,

Assuming my human loved ones could walk out of their own volition---if I had only: 1 minute, I'd grab my dogs, cats and pertinent medicines; 3 minutes, dogs, cats, meds, photo albums; 6 minutes, all of the above (aota) plus sentimental jewelry; 8 minutes, aota, my laptop, flash drive, and wood spirit my daddy carved; 10 minutes, aota and all the sentimental stuff I could carry or stuff into a bag. See, the amount of time is critical, 'cause that might alter priorities.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-409824186547906332010-09-27T19:58:35.591-05:002010-09-27T19:58:35.591-05:00Years ago, I lived in Savannah, GA and had to evac...Years ago, I lived in Savannah, GA and had to evacuate for a hurricane...so that became a very real question. It was an eye-opener. Suddenly things like my grandfather's broken watch and the family Bible became some of the most precious things I own (besides pets, etc.). <br /><br />Anyway, very informative post. Not to mention thought-provoking!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141883867104777688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-44494530771497260982010-09-27T16:29:09.395-05:002010-09-27T16:29:09.395-05:00I admit, I read the other comments, and I agree wi...I admit, I read the other comments, and I agree with them. However, since I don't have any valuable jewels, I could spend more time grabbing other things.<br /><br />Family members, dogs, photos and my laptop, since so much "stuff" is on my laptop.

I dream about being a contestant on "Let's Make a Deal" or some version of that program,so I usually have alot of "important" stuff in the bag already. But I agree with the previous entries: meds, photos, adress/telephone book, clothes. Of course, in all seriousness, I would make sure all the people and any pets that are home would be first on the list.Barb Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192271482805073197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-41915648042431087702010-09-27T11:31:44.311-05:002010-09-27T11:31:44.311-05:00Sounded a fascinating visit.

Then I'd run over and put on my rings and my necklace with the cross (I don't wear jewelry when I'm at home), grab the few pieces of jewelry that have been in my family for years, then back down the stairs to get hubby's meds ('cause I know he'd forget) and my laptop AND the cord. And if I'm being really honest, I'd probably stuff some underwear and a toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse. Just because it's a disaster doesn't mean one can forgo personal hygiene. Maybe that's a Southern thing. :-)Cathy C. Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491874468936336577noreply@blogger.com
