So far so good.

We have had another visit from Pete tonight to see how we were managing, along with many gongozzlers waiting for something to happen. He took a couple of photos down here earlier today. It is now 9.15pm and the water is still only up to the bottom of the wooden ledge (they keep shifting the goalposts and they are now saying midnight) so it looks like the street may not get flooded after all. Well not yet anyway.
The policeman suggested that the longer it takes the water to peak the lesser the impact the flood will have. So lets hope he's right.
