The amount of developing varies with the spontaneity & intensity of the storm.  If you get into your position relative to the storm and it doesn't move unexpectedly, then you can plan & execute your photo so very little is left to do outside of stitching the pano together.  If on the other hand the storm makes an unexpected turn or changes too rapidly, then more recovery work might be needed to make up for inadequate exposure settings.  The storm photo above was one that required very little post production.
