Hurricanes are a different animal. But for just nasty storms I either just 
open the barn doors and clip the doors back so they can choose (like today 
(dutch doors all stalls open to the outside (and it's really interesting to 
see a  16.1 tb., 2 14.2 arabs, and one 15.2+ 2 yr. old all standing in the 
same stall). But when I know there is going to be high winds(rare) I lock 
up, because we have lots of trees, some with dead branches  to protect them 
from flying debris.But my barnis ina low spot. Sometimes if lots of 
lightening I pu tthem up as we are on a ridge and the barn is in the lowest 
spot and have had lightening strike a pole next to our riding arena.
