Distract her with treats and try and get her playing! Don't baby her b/c its like you are rewarding fear. Stay calm and start by doing easy commands, sit, stay and rewarding with treats. Use this time to build confidence!

For next time there is a storm have some Dr. Bach's Rescue Remedy around (you can get this at Whole Foods or another health food store and put 3-4 drops in her mouth every 2-3 hours.
