Love her or hate her, but Caroline Calloway is in a very dangerous situation.
The controversial influencer opted not to leave from her Sarasota home as Hurricane Milton churns toward the west coast of Florida as a devastating Category 4.
On Instagram Stories Tuesday, the 32 year old showed her 667K followers her “writer’s retreat” by the water, the absolute worst place to be when a weather event of this magnitude hits. Storm surge, life threatening walls of water, of up to 15 feet is expected.
“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton,” Calloway says, laughing nervously. “I’m going to die.”
The Virginia native, whose great grandfather was Sarasota developer Owen Burns who built the Ringling mansion Cà d’Zan, had an explanation. Actually, a few.
“I can’t drive, first of all,” said the erstwhile New Yorker. “Second of all, the airport is closed.”
True: Sarasota Bradenton International, Tampa International and the St. Pete Clearwater airports are all currently shut as Milton is expected to make landfall sometime Wednesday night.
