Flooding - Great Langdale NT site

I didn't think it was a good idea when I booked this over a month ago - it's a wet time of the year... but it was to meet up with friends. According to the BBC it's raining all night tonight and tomorrow (in nearby Elterwater the closest place the BBC Weather app recognised). It's been a long time since I camped there, pre-2000 I think. Has anyone got any feel about how likely it is to flood based on previous experience there? I've signed up for flood alerts in the area - I've been receiving them for several days about another site in Braithwaite (further North near Keswick) that I stayed at recently when the rain was intermittently torrential and the electricity to the site went off for a couple of hours. I've got 4 nights booked from Sunday up in the Langdales. I'll ring the site tomorrow.

I might be too late- but we had to abandon camping there back in May this year. I read online reviews before we went about where is best to camp there and where to avoid, but by the time we left all pitches were very much under at least a few centimetres of water, and the camp roads were bad too, we were quite lucky to be able to move the car.
