Caroline Calloway is staying put. As cities across Florida brace for the wrath of Hurricane Milton , which is set to make landfall Oct. 9, the influencer shared that she's not leaving her Sarasota home despite living in a mandatory evacuation area.
"I'm going to die," Caroline said in her Oct. 8 Instagram Stories. "Listen, I didn't evacuate.
I can't drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is closed. Third of all, the last time I evacuated for a hurricane, I went to my mom's house in Northport.
Her whole street flooded, and we were evacuated after three days without power, food or running water by the U.S. military.
" "It was very traumatic," she continued. "I don't want to evacuate to my mom's house because the last time I did that, it was the worst time ever." The Scammer author —who's made headlines over the years for her controversial behavior— noted that she lives in zone A, which would be the most vulnerable during the storm and the first to be evacuated.
Alongside a photo of her apartment's glass sliding door that shows a body of water in the distance, she wrote on her Instagram Stories, "A little concerned I live right on the beach not gonna lie." That hasn't deterred Caroline from staying at home. In fact, she doubled down on her decision.
"I have champagne and four generations of Floridians in my veins," the 32-year-old wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Oct. 9. "It'll be fine.
" But her choice has garnered backlash online, with social media users voici.
