Mother, 31, and Toddler Daughter Killed by Lightning Strike

A Florida mother and one of her twin daughters were outside during a storm when tragedy struck.

A Florida mother and her two-year-old daughter were killed by lightning while walking outside during a thunderstorm, authorities said. Kenya Glasgow, 31, and her toddler, Kennedi, were struck shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Sunday in Margate, near Fort Lauderdale. A resident found them on a sidewalk and called 911, reporting burn injuries. He also said that Glasgow had two “holes” in her chest. Police, firefighters and paramedics rushed to the scene and performed CPR before the pair were taken to separate hospitals. Both were pronounced dead shortly after arriving. Glasgow’s husband, Kam Glasgow, was left mourning his wife and daughter, describing the 31-year-old as his “best friend,” the Daily Mail reported. Their other two-year-old daughter, Kensli, has now lost her identical twin. “I just lost my best friend,” Kam said. “My daughter just lost her best friend.” He said the family was devastated but urged others to cherish the people they love. “My babies didn’t suffer. I’m hurt we are hurt but if you gotten the chance to feel that beautiful light my wife and daughter brought into your life cherish it,” he said.
