A sign located along Davis Boulevard is a grim reminder that Bay area has also been affected by Hurricane Katrina. The local impact is being felt as evacuees from the Gulf Coast come to Tampa Bay. Gas prices are rising and many evacuees might have to stay here for a long time before they can go back to rebuilding what was destroyed.
