Thats a pitiful a shame. Couldn't you have Larry or someone build her some sort of shelter from the storms. This fear is not to be taken lightly, she could die from the fright or she could just bolt (run and run) and never be seen again. An animals fear is usually for a good reason and needs to be addressed A.S.A.P. Remember they feel things
much deeper than we do, they just can't made themslves heard... Her gnawing the door is a CRY for help!
