The Florida influence said it was “dying” during Hurricane Milton. Now, an update | trend

Caroline Calloway, the Florida-based influencer who refused to evacuate her beachfront home despite Hurricane Milton warnings, has managed to survive the storm.

“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, I’m going to die,” the 32-year-old posted on her Instagram stories on Tuesday, just hours before the hurricane was scheduled to make landfall in Sarasota. Calloway was called the worst influence in the world for her decision to stay despite being, by her own admission, in a “mandatory evacuation zone”.

A day after her ominous prediction on Instagram Stories, Calloway, who is also an author, shared a similarly worded post. “He died doing what he loved: posting about his books on Instagram,” she wrote.

Now, an update

Caroline Calloway fans are relieved to hear that the influencer has survived Hurricane Milton despite refusing to evacuate.

“I lived a whore,” he said in a post shared on X a few hours ago.

Calloway previously spoke to People magazine about his decision to stay in Sarasota, Florida. “I don’t know who started the rumor that I live on the ground floor, but that’s not true. I live on three floors in a building with hurricane-grade windows and three-foot-thick concrete walls,” he explained.

“The building has never flooded before,” the author-influencer added.

About Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton slammed into Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, a dangerous storm surge and widespread flooding across the state. As it moved across Florida late Wednesday into Thursday, the storm weakened but left a trail of destruction, with power outages across the state and at least six deaths attributed to the bad weather.

The hurricane uprooted trees, damaged cars and homes, flooded neighborhoods and knocked out power for millions of Florida residents. Residents in the area have been warned that alligators are hiding in the floodwaters and have been asked to use caution.
