potential to have major impacts from storm surge. how that storm ultimately develops in terms of the track will obviously have a big impact in terms of which areas are going to get more damage than others. >> reporter: forecasters say milton could potentially cross florida and head out into the atlantic. that would spare georgia and the carolinas from anything like the catastrophic impact helene delivered. cristian benevides, cbs news, tampa, florida. >> here's the latest on milton's track. the storm is expected to become a powerful category-four hurricane tomorrow, then make landfall on wednesday as a category three with maximum winds near 115 miles per hour. the national hurricane center says a risk of flash flooding will begin before milton makes landfall, and there's also a risk of a life-threatening storm surge which could reach more than nine feet south of milton's landfall. and as naomi mentioned earlier, the presidential
