Influencer Caroline Calloway drew scrutiny from many online this week after she shared she’s not evacuating her Sarasota, Florida, condominium as Hurricane Milton approaches.
Calloway, 32, was among the first Instagram stars, gaining notoriety for her paragraphs-long captions and whimsical photographs documenting her daily life.
Milton's maximum sustained winds are 125 mph, which puts it at Category 3, according to the National Hurricane Center.
But Calloway, who has 671,000 followers on Instagram, remains largely unfazed by the widespread concern as Milton barrels toward Florida’s west coast.
Calloway said she’s confident her building can sustain the hurricane.
