I’ve been evacuated twice. The 2018 Woolsey fire and the current Eaton fire.. I may be wrong, but in most cases, you should have sufficient time to grab important stuff. However, when the fire begins quickly and you are very close to it, there may not be sufficient time.
I keep all my important stuff in one location, so in 2018, I was able to grab everything. My car was full of stuff! I grabbed legal documents, old family photos, and my vintage cards! Plus lots of clothes for the whole family.
It was surreal. I thought evacuations where people had to grab family photo albums only happened in the movies. Well, we know it does happen.
I also went through the 2004 hurricane Ivan.
