Hurricane Milton's storm surge is a threat that could be devastating far beyond the Tampa Bay region.

Forecasters say the low-lying region could be hit with 15 feet ( 5 meters ) of storm surge.

Milton could weaken from a Category 5 to a Category 3 before landfall, but that won't make a big difference.

Storm surge is the level at which sea water rises above its normal level.
