“World’s worst influencer” Caroline Calloway says she is refusing to leave her Florida home in a “mandatory evacuation” zone — even though she knows it’ll likely kill her.
“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die,” the controversial Instagram scammer said in a video Tuesday, a day before the monstrous storm is expected to kill those who refuse to leave.
“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,” she said.(Photo) The 32-year-old, an early influencer who hawked workshops that never happened while getting friends to ghostwrite her popular posts, attempted to explain

Don't know who she is and kinda glad I don't. Her life her choice. She won't be the only one. I have to admit I do feel bad for the cat.

If she's such a good "influencer" she should be able to influence the people she influences to move in with her before Milton's landfall. Too large a herd of "influencers" on social media already.

If this is what passes as an "influencer" in this country, it is no wonder we are in such bad shape.

Her influence will be drowned by storm surge and no one cares. No one will save her. A waste of life. IOWs, IDGAD.

I'm inclined to agree with #8; no one with any sense whatsoever of self-preservation or respect for one's own life (or for one's pets), regardless how fleeting, would be in the path of this monster. If this terminally deluded influencer really is riding out a direct strike frim a major hurricane in Flood Zone A with perhaps a 15 foot storm surge, cue Quint's song: "Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies, Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain ...." Someone should rescue the cat.
Six inches of flowing water can knock even a strong, coordinated adult off his feet. Two feet of seawater can float cars like boats, depositing them wherever they floated to before the surge receded, totaled after coming into contact with saltwater.
Don't even get me started on e-cars, which, even completely submerged (!!!), burst into flames three times hotter than gasoline flames (gasoline: 840 C or 1,500 F; Lithium ion: 2,500 C or 5,000F, hot enough to melt concrete and steel, and to burn underwater, brightly and colorfully). On Florida's west coast e-cars (and entire houses with attached garages) from Collier County all the way up to Big Bend have burned after the sea got in. In hurricane zones, electric transportation is close to an impossibility, almost unbelievably dangerous and irresponsible to one's neighbors if not to oneself.
The only types of golf carts, basically unchanged since the 1960s, that I like have safe lead acid batteries, same as under your hood, not Li-ion. Their range is about 36 holes per day. Give me Club Car. Give me E-Z-GO. Give me an ancient Pargo with a candy apple paint job. With a Bimini top. And a blue flashing light on the front bonnet. And a couple of Isaac Hayes chandeliers like the ones Snake Plissken saw in Escape from New York. If that too much to hope for?

The duck lips, alone, should make the hurricane veer away.

Re#16, I don't play golf but have an ancient EZ Go with a gas engine and variable ratio belt drive as a utility vehicle on my 10 acres. NO EVs for me.

Yes, #23, golf carts at some locations did have gas engines. Clubs could buy either kind for their golfing guests. Preferences always differ in different places. Either kind of cart fulfilled its purpose.
