In a jaw-dropping display of reckless defiance, Caroline Calloway—dubbed the “world’s worst influencer”—has announced her intention to stay in her Florida home, despite being in a mandatory evacuation zone ahead of Hurricane Milton. This storm, which is projected to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area, poses a significant threat to those who refuse to heed evacuation warnings. Yet, Calloway seems unfazed, even as she publicly acknowledges the peril she faces.

In a video posted on social media, Calloway casually states, *“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die.”* With her characteristic blend of self-indulgence and drama, the 32-year-old influencer described her location on the water in Sarasota, underscoring the gravity of her situation. *“It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation,”* she added, yet she remains resolute about staying put.

In an attempt to justify her decision, Calloway cited her inability to drive and the chaos surrounding airport closures, claiming, *“I can’t drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is closed.”* She recounted a traumatic experience during Hurricane Ian when she evacuated to her mother’s house, which subsequently flooded. *“It was very traumatic, and so I don’t want to evacuate to my mom’s house because the last time I did that, it was the worst time ever!”* Her reluctance to leave her home comes across as more self-centered than sensible.

As she prepares to weather the storm with her cat, Calloway took the precaution of filling her bathtub with backup water and claimed to have some food stocked up. But her approach raises eyebrows. *“We have food, but it’s kind of scary… I’ll keep you guys updated,”* she added, as if her followers are clamoring for updates on her impending catastrophe.

Amidst her careless bravado, she shared footage of Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor bluntly warning residents that *“you will die”* if they do not evacuate. Calloway also posted a picturesque view of the ocean from her home, all while expressing that she was *“a little concerned.”* It’s a stark contrast to the seriousness of the warnings she’s disregarding.

In her posts on X, Calloway further solidified her decision to stay put. *“I’m not evacuating for the hurricane. I live in Sarasota, on the beach, in evacuation zone A,”* she reiterated, unflinchingly embracing the risk. Adding a touch of her trademark irony, she promoted her upcoming book, *“Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway’s Guide to Life,”* joking that it would be available if she survives the storm.

Calloway’s infamous history includes defrauding hundreds of fans who paid for nonexistent creative workshops and squandering a six-figure book advance that never produced a manuscript. Dubbed a “scammer,” she even launched a skincare line named Snake Oil, embodying her notorious reputation.

Having fled her West Village apartment amid reports of $40,000 in unpaid rent, Calloway has built a brand around her controversial lifestyle. Her antics were further spotlighted in the BBC documentary *“My Insta Scammer Friend,”* which delves into the ramifications of her deceit on those who trusted her.

As Hurricane Milton looms, Calloway’s refusal to evacuate stands as a stark reminder of the dangers of putting self-promotion above sound judgment. In a world already grappling with a loss of common sense, her actions raise serious questions about personal responsibility in the face of nature’s fury. While many are evacuating and prioritizing safety, Calloway seems determined to make her next questionable decision a viral spectacle. Let’s hope she remembers that life is more than just a series of social media posts.
