Your comment on marijuana seems to be wrong, the link you offer says that it's the second most common, not the second most dangerous. Looks like someone deleted my comment so I’ll have to re-post.

Huge scary storms are common. With the exception of one of those to close for comfort lightening strikes that sounds like an atomic bomb going off overhead we're all pretty nonchalant about it. It is funny though to see all three of us, me, wife, cat, leap half a foot or more out of our seats when an exceptionally loud clap of thunder goes off. Fireworks are annoying.

Instead of spending the money on an Anxiety Wrap without knowing if it would help him, I cut a t-shirt up the center of the back, put it on him and brought the ends tightly around him and pinned them together. If he had been smaller, I could have tied them. Wrapping him with the t-shirt seemed to help. At least, he didn't seem to mind wearing it and he quit standing next to me and drooling during storms.
