Please watch your pets close during storms. Several years ago we had a Bichon who was not afraid of storms, but a tornado touched down a few miles away once and she was sick from it. She threw up and sadly aspirated some into her lungs. A week later we had to put her to sleep as she just couldn't breathe. The vet I had worked for did it and also did an autopsy. He called me to say I had done the right thing that only about 10% of her lung tissue was still pink and healthy.
