What would you do with your guns/ammo if you had to temporarily evacuate?

Im in the process of putting together a panic box of ammo and magazines. This would allow me to throw the guns into some bags, grab the panic box, be wearing my ccw and hit the road. I would then have my collection safe, and still have the tools to protect my family,
 
My safe is 1200 lbs, so it's staying. :) It's rated at 1638 degrees for 45 minutes, but regardless I'd just take what I could and leave the rest. Not much there that can't be replaced. There'd be alot of other things to worry about so I'd probably grab the AR, a couple of .45's and be gone.
 
Last time I had to evacuate I took my Sig P220 with 4 extra magazines and my scoped AR with 100 rounds. Now that I don't have ARs here in CA, I'd take the Rem 700 LTR and 100 rounds of Federal match.
 
I'd take what I could. The rest would go in either a safe or the best place I could think to hide them.

I can think of one place in my house that looters probably wouldn't bother checking. Under loose blown insulation in an inconvenient part of the attic.
 
I always felt if I thought fire was danger I would stick a couple 5 gallon plastic buckets on safe full of water. Maybe drill a small hole in one of them. Set up garden sprinkler on roof and leave it run.
Most guns would stay unless I had plenty of time. Safe IIRC is rated for 40 min at 1300 or so?
