I know what you mean, Central Illinois is right there with Chicago on the thunderstorms almost every day. Someone once told me that a dog responds to patting instead of stroking when they are upset. Macy is terrified of storms also. I wrap her in her blanket and start patting her using the rhythm of a heartbeat. I usually pat her on her rump as she is cuddled beside me. She burys her head in the blanket and won't come up until the storm is over. Now if they could just come up with something for me....I'm terrified of storms as well.
