Default Thunderstorm phobic dog

Our geriatric BC/GR mix, who has always been afraid of t-storms, has developed
a full-fledged phobia in the last few months. What used to be panting, pacing
and trembling has turned into what appears to be absolute terror, with a
panicked run and hysterical trembling.

Our vet has provided Valium for her, but it doesn't seem to help overly much.
We also have to give it to her about an hour before she hears the storm
approaching (which is about an hour before WE hear it). Of course, if we are
at work, we can't give it to her at all.

Any advice? Also, does anyone know anything about this?

A couple of people on the Hoflin list had good things to say about it.
