Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I think those of you who mentioned it seems she is insecure probably hit it. This is not the first time I've asked a question and gotten blasted for it. On previous occassions I've waited for her to cool off then gone and said something like "I am not trying to be argumentative. Could you please help understand why I should do x, y, z?" I've suspected for awhile that any time someone does not agree with her she views it as challenging her. Tuesday's events convinced me.
I haven't decided what to do about it. Part of me says just to not ever question her or disagree with her. I'm not sure that's possible. If I don't understand something I'm told it seems to make sense to ask for clarafication. How do I do my job if I don't understand what I'm being asked to do? Another part of me wants to go to her when things are quiet and try to have a discussion about what happened. I suspect that would not be effective though. Yet another part wants to go up the chain of command if it happens again.
For what it's worth two people have quit because she treated them this way.
