The South Carolina escort, 61, rushing to Tampa to soothe Hurricane Milton evacuees: 'I will bring my rain boots'

 A 61-year-old South Carolina escort is rushing to Tampa, despite Hurricane Milton rapidly approaching Florida, to soothe evacuees.   

'As you are possibly packing up & leaving Tampa /Clearwater / St Pete I will be heading to you,' Grace Taylor wrote in Sunday post on X, noting that she would be in town from Wednesday to Friday.

'I will bring my rain boots,' she added.

Taylor announced in a follow-up post on Tuesday that she was nearing Tampa, noting that her son 'isn't sure if I'm crazy or have a death wish.'

'I'll be around for more than just your carnal pleasures…' she wrote.

'For other providers, If you need help cleaning up post storm please reach out. I'm happy to lend a hand.' 

Taylor is apparently familiar with hurricanes, saying in a post on Monday that the 'storm here in SC pretty much wiped me out.'

She added that she originally had a flight to Florida on Wednesday, 'but I can kiss that goodbye' thanks to Milton.

When people asked why she would go to Florida amid evacuation orders in many coastal towns and cities, she responded: 'because I can.'

Hurricane Milton has already started to impact Florida. The historic storm is set to double in size before making landfall Wednesday night.

Horrifying footage shot Wednesday at  lunchtime captured a massive twister in Matlacha near Cape Coral and Fort Myers as the storm headed inland.

Milton is a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 145mph, according to an 11am National Hurricane Center update.

Its winds are becoming more wide-reaching from the center, increasing its capacity to cause widespread destruction.

Milton's gales had extended to around 80 miles Monday and increased to just over 100 miles by Wednesday morning.
