According to Robert Denningham, a hydraulic engineer with the Tennessee Corp of Engineers, the Cumberland River is at 51.07 feet and is expected to crest by midnight tonight at 51.5 feet. From that point on the level of the water will be released slowly to prevent flooding from happening downstream. By midnight Monday, February 25, the water level should be at 48 feet and reach 41.5 feet by Friday.
