South Florida man mourns wife, 2-year-old daughter killed in Broward lightning strike: "Words can't describe this feeling"

A South Florida father is faced with heartbreak and devastation after his wife and 2-year-old daughter were killed in a lightning strike as they tried to run from their car to the front door of their Broward home during a thunderstorm over the weekend.

According to Margate police, the mother and her daughter were struck by lightning in the area of 7941 Northwest 1st Street in Margate around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

A neighbor who CBS News Miami spoke with said he had just finished rushing his own family inside when he heard loud thunder and saw an orange glow.

"My son, now, said to me, 'Hey, Dad. I think somebody got hit. There's a lady on the floor,'" Prince Moody said. "And I'm like, 'What? No way. Stop, man.' And he said, 'No, look.' And I looked out my window, and I saw a lady on the floor."

 Moody said he rushed across the street to try and help.

"As I get closer, there's also a toddler lying a couple of feet from the mother," Moody said. "Charred. It's a scene that I never want to see again."

Now, Kameron Glasgow is trying to process how his family was torn apart in seconds.

"My daughter and my wife, they were amazing, amazing people," he said, fighting through tears. "My wife, the biggest heart in the world. The biggest heart in the world."

Glasgow said his wife, 31-year-old Kenya Glasgow, put everyone in the world before herself.

"That was my hero next to my dad," Glasgow said. "Because I wanted to show up for people how my wife does. She helped make me into the man I am today."

Glasgow said they were headed into the house for a family dinner when the lightning struck, killing Kenya and 2-year-old Kennedy.

"We saw that the rain was picking up and we just said, 'Hey. We need to get the girls inside,'" Kameron Glasgow said. "Just a typical thing that anyone would do. Put a blanket on their head and get inside."

Glasgow said it's going to crush him when Kennedy's twin sister asks about her sister and mother.

"That's something we're going to have to get used to," he said.

Glasgow described Kennedy as infectious, saying she could sing every word of Benson Boone's songs.

"It's going to be tough to lose somebody that I've been with for half of my life," Kameron Glasgow said "It's going to be tough. But I'll be OK. I have to be because I have another beautiful daughter inside there. But for her to lose her twin sister, words can't describe this feeling."

The incident remains under investigation by the Margate Police Department.
