Caroline Calloway said she is going to “die” after she refused to abandon her Florida home in a “mandatory evacuation” zone ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall.
“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, I’m going to die,” the 32-year-old, known as the “world’s worst influencer,” said via her Instagram Story Tuesday.
“It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water. It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation.”
Calloway also shared a video of Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor warning residents that those who stay behind “will die” when the monstrous storm hits.
The Instagram scammer, however, attempted to justify her decision.
“I can’t drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is closed,” she said. “Third of all, the last time I evacuated for a hurricane, I went to my mom’s house in Northport for Hurricane Ian.”
Calloway continued, “Her whole street flooded and we were evacuated after three days without power or running water by the US military.
“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!”
The internet personality reassured her fans that she and her cat were preparing for the storm, explaining she filled a tub with “backup water.”
“We have food but it’s kind of scary …,” Calloway said. “’l’ll keep you guys updated.”
The con artist later posted a map showing where the hurricane is expected to hit and her home, which sits near the water.
She admitted to being “a little concerned.”
Calloway, however, managed to use the storm to promote her forthcoming book “Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway’s Guide to Life.”
“It’s about to come out if I survive! It’s an advice book 😉 Cute!!!!! <3,” she wrote on X.
The supposed author hasn’t given an update on her whereabouts since Tuesday.
Calloway rose to fame in the early 2010s by glamorizing her life at England’s University of Cambridge on social media.
Calloway’s aesthetically pleasing Instagram led her to gain a massive following, and she soon began profiting off her followers by charging them to attend workshops that never came to fruition.
She also shamelessly spent a six-figure advance for a novel she never released and launched her own skincare brand, Snake Oil.
The influencer now lives in Florida after allegedly fleeing New York City with a $40,000 debt in unpaid rent.
