Influencer Caroline Calloway Defies Hurricane Evacuation Orders: What's Really Going On?
Caroline Calloway, once embroiled in scandal as a supposed scammer, has resurfaced in the spotlight for a different reason - her decision to stay put in her Florida residence despite a hurricane threat. While her influence may have waned, her recent actions have reignited curiosity and concern among her followers.
In a candid Instagram Story shared on a fateful Tuesday night, Caroline candidly acknowledged the imminent danger she faced. "So if you've been following Hurricane Milton, um, I'm going to die! It's supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I'm in Sarasota, I live on the water, it's zone A, mandatory evacuation," she disclosed, shedding light on her risky predicament.
Explaining her controversial choice to remain in her home, Caroline cited past evacuation experiences. "I can't drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is close," she reasoned. Recalling a harrowing evacuation to her mother's residence during Hurricane Ian, she recounted the chaos that ensued. "Her whole street flooded, and we were evacuated after three days without power or running water by the U.S. military," she recounted, highlighting the trauma that still lingered.

Despite the looming danger, Caroline shared her makeshift preparations, revealing she was holed up with her cat, essential supplies, and a bathtub filled with emergency water. "We have food, but it's kind of scary," she admitted, hinting at the gravity of the situation. As she pledged to keep her followers updated, a video snippet from Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor warning of dire consequences for non-evacuees added a chilling undertone to the unfolding drama.
However, skepticism shrouds Caroline's predicament, fueled by her tainted reputation as a scammer. Her past misdeeds, including paying for followers and failing to deliver promised workshops, have cast a shadow of doubt over her current plight. Yet, amidst the skepticism, a faction of followers remains captivated by the enigmatic allure of her turbulent life.
As the hurricane looms large, the fate of Caroline Calloway hangs in the balance. Whether she emerges unscathed or faces the full brunt of the storm, one thing is certain - her legion of followers will be on tenterhooks, eagerly awaiting every twist and turn in this unfolding saga.
