But look over at Richmond Hill 51. We were there just a little while ago and like I said, that was the record low. So tied it and we are almost 15 degrees below average. Some folks were in the forties this morning. We've all climbed into the fifties, even some sixties already out of the coast. Look out of the coast, Gorgeous. Now the key to today and tomorrow going to be layers like we were talking about. We're starting with those cold temperatures except out by the Atlantic where you see 63 little light breeze out of the north. That's gonna be comin today.

And once you get up toward daufuskie into Hilton head, you're going to see those mid seventies. Like I mentioned though that breeze out of the northeast 10 20 miles an hour, moderate risk risk high UV index.

Fire crews working for hours to put out the fire at the Golden Ray wreckage. W. J. C. L. Stephen moody was there to show us how neighbors are dealing with it. A significant difference friday evening from what we saw friday afternoon with heavy smoke and flames coming from the wreckage. It's kind of amazing to see it still lives in this area and says she saw the fire first on social media, you kind of see it actually from my home, which is on the north side of Brunswick. Um, so as I was leaving my home, coming towards here, you can see the billowing of the Black Smoke, but it's something, you know, I think we're kind of getting used to it here. It all started friday afternoon as responders were conducting pre cutting operations. Soon as we were conducting cutting operations. Shortly after lunch time, we had a fire break out within the whole, that fire was, they tried to suppress it. We do have a fire fire fire fighting equipment on board, but the fire spread among the vehicles thankfully everyone was safely evacuated from the scene and there were no injuries, still firefighting vessels on scene for four hours to get it under control. And they did it with an audience, oddly enough, this has become a tourist attraction of sorts since the initial wreck in 2019. To kind of see everyone just kind of come around and You see people just kind of congregating and talking with each other is perfect strangers. So it's just a good ending to a pretty bad situation. Now there's no update on when work will continue, but officials estimated that it would take up to 24 hours to cut each section of the ship. After several delays, it took more than 20 days to complete just the first cut of the ship's foul reporting in Glynn county Stephen, moody W J C L 22 news. Now, the ship first capsized in the ST Simon's sound in September of 2019. It took days to rescue the 24 people who were on board the ship was carrying a load of cars when it happened. Since then, the efforts to remove it has had several interruptions. It took months to remove the fuel and in January of 2021 of the cars still on that ship caught fire. Finally, in November of 2020. The job to cut the ship into removable parts finally began. It's not clear how yesterday's fire will impact that removal. Top political headline this morning, marjorie, taylor Green back in the spotlight. This time a 2019 video has surfaced showing Green provoking her democratic counterpart new york representative alexandria Ocasio Cortez, alexandria Ocasio Cortez. I'm an american citizen. I pay your salary through the taxes that you collect for me through the I. R. S. I'm a woman, I'm a female business owner and I'm proud to be an american woman and I do not support your socialist policies. If you want to be a big girl, you need to get rid of your diaper and come out and be able to talk to the american citizens instead of having to use a flap. A little flap, it's kind of like sad. This resurfaced video comes after Green was accused of confronting Cortez in the Hall of Congress this week, reporters asked both reps about it. If we want to talk about assault. If we want to talk about aggressive behavior, you need to be interviewing the democrats in AOC should be able to debate her policy because I'm a successful business owner. She's never done that. I know for a fact what socialism will do to our country. The american people know it. The american people want to see a debate about the Green new deal, which is written into all of these garbage bills that we have to vote on every single day. I mean this is a woman that people well, um, and clearly needs some help. I I and her kind of fixation has lasted for several years now.

We're talking about CDCs new guidance on masks for vaccinated americans. Now, if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC says in most cases you don't have to wear a mask outside or inside. With exceptions like riding on planes, trains and buses as well as if you were at the hospital. According to Mayor johnson here in Savannah, the mask must stay on yet, Chatham County leaders say they're listening to the C. D. C. So when the C. D. C. Sent, there's down yesterday, we had the conversation with the local health department and we relax the mass ordinance in the county so that we're asking folks that those who have been, who have not been vaccinated to get vaccinated and where your mass until you are vaccinated. But Savannah, Mayor Van johnson says it's too soon to drop the masks given the low vaccination rates in our area. Our commitment was that we singled the mask ordinance at the council affirmed that yesterday, um, toward the end of the month, I will reconvene our local medical professionals, public health and epidemiology specialists and then we'll kind of make a determined determination of where we go from there. The mayor reminds us that only about 29 of Chatham County residents have received the vaccine. Now, while the CDC says vaccinated people can go mask list, there still aren't many vaccinated people in our area. Like we just mentioned, just 30 of eligible population in Chatham County has been fully vaccinated so far.
