Man, earthquakes give me the heebie-jeebies. Glad everyone's OK.
But yes, we have thumb turns on our locks if we had to leave due to house fire or some such. The dogs have their collars on all the time, and are pretty well-trained at the "come" command. The older dog goes under the bed if anything is scary (thunder, fireworks, etc) so he'd probably be OK except in fire. The young dog is not as intelligent and has been known to go outside to watch lightning, so, um, I would worry in a tornado or really bad storm.
