If a fire was about to burn your house, what would you save?
Several large fires, one a few miles away from my house, lit up my area tonight. As I packed some of my collection into my car, it was hard deciding what should stay and what should go. My arcade tally would have been what was most easily accessible and what was the hardest stuff to fix. I have a couple of spare vector boards and some JAMMA boards that were about to be stuffed in the car. I also would have saved a project or two; namely the most difficult boards I've gotten almost all the way working: Zero Team and Alien Storm. Heck, the Alien Storm isn't even complete and needs chips from another game to work.
Thankfully we were not evacuated and everything was moved back inside. My car has a little bit of ash on it and it smells like a BBQ outside.
I didn't even bother thinking about moving cabs out to raid their PCBs out of harms way.
What would everyone else do?
