Yep! I can relate to that. My current dog hears thunder before I do, and he doesn't like it. He knows that thunder follows lightning.

My female American Foxhound is scared to death of Thunder.
Murphy starts pacing from door to door about 20 mins before I hear the thunder, once the rain starts he lays down and goes to sleep.
Nothing seemed to calm my dogs for their intense fear of thunder & lightning or fireworks until I tried the Rx Sileo. It works amazing for both of my dogs.
My dog, a 20 pound terrier mix, was home alone when lightning struck a tree about 50 feet from the house, and maybe 55 feet from her favorite sleeping chair. So close you not only hear it, but feel it. It must have been loud, because it knocked a picture off the wall right behind her chair. Now, every time it rains she gets nervous. And if she detects any thunder in the far distance, she starts shaking and either goes under the bed or under the pillows on the sofa.
My dog used to head straight under the bed until the storm was done. I was finally able to get her out and we snuggled on the couch with the tv turned up. Now, if she was still with me, I would put my noise cancelling headphones on her and help her calm down easier.
