It was a busy Thursday for lifeguards and crew at a Tybee Island beach.

WJCL reported a little alligator was found by rocks on the north end of the beach and had to be relocated, according to the Tybee Lifeguards Facebook page.

“Staff members relocated a small alligator from the rocks on the north end,” the post read. “We try to keep everyone off the rocks including a gator, luckily we had the staff on location in both places.”

The small gator wasn't the only animal found that day. According to a Facebook post, the lifeguards also helped relocate a sea turtle.

“Crews assisted the Marine Science Center with a sea turtle that was accidentally caught on some fishing line on the south end of the island,” the post read.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
