Just for today this is what I’d grab.
First and foremost, I'd grab my cell phone. Not just to call 911, but it has all of my music on it (which I need to live),and it has all of my family and friends numbers in it. Let's face it since cell phones came around I can not remember anyone's phone numbers by memory.
Second, my snow boots because it's been snowing for days and going out barefoot Id probably end up with frostbite. Getting half my toes cut off and losing my house, at the same time, would definitely make me look at life in a bad way.
Third, I'd grab the warmest jacket I own. Because it's like 4 degrees here today. And no I wouldn't stand near my house when it's up in flames to stay warm...I use kerosene to warm my house up. So I'm not really sure how that would work but I would think the oil would explode or make the house fire real extreme. You know what they say? Safety first.
