A mother and her 2-year-old twin daughter were killed after they were struck by lightning in Florida right in front of the girl’s devastated father.
Kenya Glasgow, 31, and her young daughter Kennedi, were found lying on the sidewalk in Margate after they were jolted by a bolt of lightning around 2:30 p.m Sunday, according to the Margate Police Department.
“I saw the whole thing,” Kam Glasgow told The Post through sobs on Monday, the morning after losing his wife and one of his children.
“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,” the shattered dad added.
“S–t can’t be real,” he also wrote on Facebook of the “1 In 1.2 million” freak accident.
First responders rushed to the scene and immediately began treating the victims and performing CPR, according to police. They were rushed to separate hospitals, where the mother and daughter were each declared dead soon afterward.
Kam said that Kenya had been the “love of my life” since they were 16 and 17 years old. They had been together 15 years and tied the knot four years ago.
They have two twin girls together, Kennedi, who died, and Kensli.
Now, Kam said that he and Kensli “have to pick up the pieces and lean on our village.”
Since yesterday afternoon, he and his daughter have been feeding off “support from our large family and a vast amount of friends who are still, technically family.”
Kam described his late wife as the “most amazing spirit in this world.”
“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. Everybody showed up for everyone. Without hesitation,” he said.
Margate Police said the incident remains under investigation.
