MARGATE, Fla. —

A mother and daughter were killed by a lightning strike over the weekend in Broward County, Florida.

Police in Margate, Florida, said they found the two lying in the middle of the sidewalk. The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

“It’s gonna be tough – to lose someone I’ve been with for half of my life,” Kameron Glasgow told WPLG.

Glasgow said he witnessed his wife, Kenya, and his 2-year-old daughter, Kennedi, who is a twin, get struck by lightning.

“I got the actual aftershock from the ground. By the grace of God, I’m still here,” Glasgow told the TV station.

He said his family of four had just arrived at his aunt’s house and were trying to beat a storm. The two later died at the hospital, authorities said.

Kennedi’s twin sister, Kensli, survived.

“For her to lose her twin sister,” Glasgow said. “Words can’t describe the feeling, because I know she can’t even fathom it right now.”
