Adin Ross Calls on Streamers to Evacuate Following $70K Hurricane Survival Challenge

Adin Ross, the well-known Kick streamer, is urgently urging his fellow content creators to evacuate as Hurricane Milton heads toward Florida, having offered a staggering $70,000 to two streamers willing to broadcast during the storm.

This powerful storm is intensifying as it approaches the western Florida coast, with winds reaching 120 mph.

Hurricane Milton has been classified as a Category 4 hurricane and is predicted to bring “catastrophic” and “life-threatening” flooding conditions, leading officials to issue mandatory evacuation orders for the affected areas to ensure public safety.

Despite these severe warnings, some streamers are still choosing to remain in danger for the sake of online fame. As this situation unfolds, Kick streamer Mike Smalls Jr. is braving the incoming storm, having initially anticipated earning $70,000 from Adin Ross for his streaming efforts.

Although Ross initially floated this figure as a joke during his stream, he has since backtracked and is now imploring streamers like Mike Smalls to prioritize their safety and evacuate.

“Just to clarify, the $70K was only promised to two specific streamers,” he stated in a post on Twitter/X. “You all need to prioritize your safety and leave the area. It’s not worth the risk.”

In a similar vein, Ross entered Smalls’ chat, reiterating his plea for the streamer to evacuate.

“You really need to get out of there, bro,” he advised. “The $70K offer was meant for sweater god and Sambond, not for you. You need to leave — it’s not worth the danger.”

Smalls reacted with surprise to Ross’s remarks and expressed his frustration in an intense outburst.

“Forget you!” he exclaimed. “I’m risking my life for my family, and then you throw me under the bus like that. …he just played me. That’s messed up.”

Mike Smalls is not alone in facing Hurricane Milton; another notable streamer, Tfue, has also chosen to stay behind in his childhood home after his hometown suffered damage from Hurricane Helene just weeks ago.
