THAT WAS CLOSE. A woman and her cat were admiring the storm when lightning struck.

Cat used at least one of his nine lives to escape that one and maybe threw his mom another to help her out!

A woman and her cat were admiring the storm when lightning struck.

"A little shaken after being struck by lightning this evening. But no sympathy please, I'm fine! Just want to share this WICKED COOL video!! Make sure your sound is only at medium and that you are sitting down," Dawn shared on Facebook.

Watch the video below!

"I'm replaying the events and actually starting to laugh about it now. You should have seen Max (my kitty) and me dart from the room and the trepidatious way I came back in to close the door with more close lightening still striking," Dawn added.

Dawn had a little mark on her foot, but otherwise was fine. Her cat Zeus was completely fine as well, but he definitely used one of his nine lives to escape unscathed.
