The stormy weather means taking extra precaution when it comes to your pets.
Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society officials say when it starts thundering, often times dogs and cats can develop anxiety.
They say they have a tendency to whimper, pace or even tremble throughout the storm, and it can be dangerous for them to be so frightened.
"It's best if they are in a smaller area, confined where they're safe and they don't hurt themselves or anyone else and even their property," Joyce Patterson, Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society Director, said.
Officials also say folks can talk to their veterinarian and get their pets sedated before a major thunderstorm to help keep them calm before the storm.
