In a devastating and almost unimaginable tragedy, a Florida family was torn apart in an instant when a lightning strike claimed the lives of a young mother and one of her twin daughters — right before the eyes of her husband and the surviving child.

Kenya Glasgow, 31, and her 2-year-old daughter Kennedi were struck by lightning around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday in Margate, Florida. The pair were found lying on the sidewalk after the powerful bolt hit. Kenya’s husband, Kam Glasgow, and their other twin daughter, Kensli, were nearby when the freak accident occurred.

“I saw the whole thing,” a heartbroken Kam told reporters the following morning, his voice breaking with emotion. “A bolt of lightning came down. I got hit with the residuals from the ground and I looked over and that’s when I saw them.”

First responders arrived quickly and immediately began life-saving efforts, including CPR. The mother and daughter were rushed to separate hospitals, where both were later pronounced ᴅᴇᴀᴅ.

Kam, who had been with Kenya since they were teenagers and married her four years ago, described the loss as unreal. “S–t can’t be real,” he wrote on social media, noting the extreme rarity of the event — estimated by some sources as a 1-in-1.2-million occurrence.

“I just lost my best friend,” he said of his wife. “My daughter just lost her best friend,” he added, referring to Kensli, who must now grow up without her twin sister.

Kenya was remembered by her husband as “the most amazing spirit in this world” and “the love of my life.” He spoke of her selfless nature: “My wife had the biggest heart in the world. And only cared about everybody else and never cared about herself. She put everybody before herself.”

In a moving tribute shared online, Kam thanked Kenya and Kennedi “for choosing me as your husband and father.” He wrote that his “babies didn’t suffer” and urged others who had been touched by their light to cherish those memories. “Don’t worry about Kensli and I. I know you both have us covered for the rest of our lives. We will make you both our story and take it one day at a time because I know you both are guiding us.”

The grieving father said he and Kensli are leaning on their “village” — a large network of family and close friends who have rallied around them since the tragedy. “We have to pick up the pieces,” he said.

Margate Police confirmed the incident remains under investigation. According to data from the National Lightning Safety Council, Kenya and Kennedi were the 11th and 12th lightning-related fatalities in the United States this year.

The sudden loss has left a community in shock and a family forever changed. In the face of such profound grief, Kam’s words offer a quiet reminder of the love that remains: the light his wife and daughter brought into the world continues to guide those left behind, one day at a time.
