Nashville, Tennessee (CNN) -- Water continued to recede in flood-struck Tennessee Thursday, as the Cumberland River fell below flood stage for the first time since heavy weekend rains overflowed it.
As of Thursday afternoon, the river stood at 39.5 feet, or about half an inch under flood stage, officials said.
