Did you have a question about this?
It is not good English, but you can often hear expressions like this on the street.
Correctly: Natalie and I were running away from the storm, and she was struck by lightning.
The subjects are "Natlie" and "I". "Me" is not a subject pronoun in English. Also, since this is really two sentences, the comma is required to separate them. Without the comma you have a "run-on sentence" which is a grammatical no-no.
