Kameron Glasgow's wife, Kenya, and 2-year-old daughter Kennedi were killed by a lightning strike during a recent Florida storm.
Mother & Daughter Dead After Being Hit By Lightning Strike
Kameron was heading out to dinner with his wife and two young daughters last Sunday (August 23). When he saw the rain start to pour more rapidly, he suggested bringing his two young daughters to safety inside.
Kameron says it was at that point they decided to pull over at a family member's house who was nearby. He and his family tried to run from the driveway to the front door to get out of the storm. But while trying to get to the inside of the home Kenya and Kennedi were struck by a lightning bolt. To make things worse both he and his other daughter witnessed the entire tragedy unfold.
Social Media Reacts to Tragedy
Now he is left to mourn the loss of both a wife and a daughter. And simultaneously having to comfort his remaining daughter on the loss of her mother and sister. A situation that the father describes as the "worst feeling in the world."
" [It's] the worst feeling in the world. And to turn around and see your wife and daughter there, lifeless, even worse," Cameron said to NBC Miami (via PEOPLE)
Users on social media also expressed condolences over the gut-wrenching tragedy.
"This is one of the most heartbreaking things because you don't even have anyone to direct your pain towards; they weren't murdered or involved in an accident, just pure bad luck," one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Sad thing to witness or learn about. Lightning strike takes lives, and there's nothing one can do about it," a second user chimed in.
"Man... I couldn't imagine. Dear Lord, please give this man the support and strength to make it through," a third user remarked.
The odds of being struck by lightning in the United States in any given year are less than one in a million. Over an average 80-year lifetime, your overall odds rise to approximately 1 in 15,300. (Via the Center for Disease Control)
