An influencer has decided to use her platform to tell her followers that she will not be evacuating her house in Florida, where Hurricane Milton<\/a> is expected to land.<\/p>\n

Caroline Calloway<\/a>, 32, grew to fame as one of the first Instagram influencers<\/a> by documenting her time at Cambridge University. However, she later sparked an internet frenzy after a viral essay <\/a>written by former friend Natalie Beach claimed that Calloway had a ghostwriter compose her captions. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now living in Florida, the author took to her Instagram<\/a> Story on October 8 to explain why she had not left an evacuation zone prior to the Category 4 hurricane.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if you\u2019ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I\u2019m going to die!\u201d she said in her since-deleted Instagram Story, per the Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I\u2019m in Sarasota, I live on the water, it\u2019s zone A, mandatory evacuation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calloway continued to explain why she wasn\u2019t leaving, mentioning that she couldn\u2019t drive, the airport was closed, and her previous evacuation during Hurricane Ian was \u201ctraumatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHer whole street flooded and we were evacuated after three days without power or running water by the US military,\u201d the influencer said, speaking about how she previously left her home to travel to her mother\u2019s house during the last hurricane. \u201cIt was very traumatic and so I don\u2019t want to evacuate to my mom\u2019s house because the last time I did that, it was the worst time ever!\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of posting, Calloway revealed that she was still in her home alongside her cat, with her bathtub filled with \u201cbackup\u201d water in case she lost electricity. \u201cWe have food but it\u2019s kind of scary and… yeah, I\u2019ll keep you guys updated,\u201d she concluded, before showing her followers a clip of Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor saying that if you don\u2019t evacuate, \u201cyou will die.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then turned to X, formerly Twitter, to once again post<\/a> about her not leaving her home during the hurricane. \u201cI\u2019m not evacuating for the hurricane. I live in Sarasota, on the beach, in evacuation zone A,\u201d her post began. \u201cFor more great advice, buy my second book! It\u2019s called Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway\u2019s Guide to Life. It\u2019s about to come out if I survive! It\u2019s an advice book \ud83d\ude09 Cute!!!!! <3\u201d<\/p>\n

Many people in the comments section had claimed that Calloway was using the opportunity to promote her book, such as one person who wrote back: \u201cMf riding a hurricane for clout is insane work. I can\u2019t hate on this. The dram, the content. [sic] If you live the win is undeniable. Please if nothing else just save the cat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other commenters urged Calloway to evacuate Florida for the sake of her cat, rather than herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a person you can endanger your own life, please get your helpless cat out of there though,\u201d one person wrote in the comments, while another user said: \u201cGirl do you still have your cat?? It\u2019s a very likely scenario that you have to evacuate last minute and leave him, GET OUT.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
