It's not just water that's being pumped out of the reservoir, emergency workers are also building a new road near the dam at Whaley Bridge, so vehicles can access the waterside.

There was a light shower as predicted at about midnight but thankfully it has now stopped.
The cloud cover is quite high at the moment and I can see one or two stars through the gaps in the clouds, but it looks like we're not due for any real heavy thunder showers over the next hour or so.

Throughout the day, engineers have continued to pump water out of Toddbrook Reservoir and into the River Goyt.
Luckily, water levels have dropped on the river in the Marple Bridge and Stockport areas, so there is sufficient capacity there for the water and that's a huge relief for the Environment Agency which is constantly monitoring levels.
Everything could have gone wrong if the weather had been bad this evening but thankfully we've had a break.

The man behind the military operation to help shore up Toddbrook Reservoir has said things are looking positive tonight.
Wing Commander John Coles said: "We're very fortunate that we've not had any rain this afternoon at all, so we're in a complete net gain.
"The pumps are pumping water out and the levels are lowering."
He said the Chinook helicopters had managed to put bags of aggregate exactly where they were needed.
"There's very much a sense that we've got through the worst of it," Wing Commander Coles said.
A Nottinghamshire club marks its 30th anniversary by aiming to recruit young men and women.

It's a weird spectacle before me now at Whaley Bridge as you have this strand of cloud above the horizon, a beautiful crescent moon has just appeared, but you've also got the yellow glow of Stockport.
Looking into the valley, it is very dark across there as all those homes have been evacuated but there is a huge floodlight over the dam itself which has been set up.

I'm at the Palace Hotel in Buxton where some of the evacuees and firefighters are staying, and spirits are very high.
The majority of people seem to be taking things in their stride and remaining positive.
However, some people are concerned about the amount of time they will have to stay away from home, including Carla, who is here with her one-year-old son Freddie.
She said her son had run out of clean clothes and nappies and was getting frustrated being out of his normal routine.

A team of volunteers have been locating and rescuing pets from inside the evacuation zone at Whaley Bridge.
Ben Pudsey from Pet Search UK said: "We're having to make sure we follow safety precautions advised by the police and it's a case of 15 minutes in and out."
Image source, Pet SearchBen said the team had rescued many animals, including cats and a cockatiel named Joey.
"Fifteen minutes for some people isn't long enough as they may be elderly, infirm or maybe they're just weighing the risk.
"The risk is very high. Police are advising you not to go in and people have had to make that difficult decision that they're not going to enter their homes to retrieve their beloved pets, so we're on the ground yesterday and today to provide that service," he said.

The good news is that the storms seem to have missed the town so far.
There's still a Met Office yellow weather warning in place until midnight, but it does look as though Whaley Bridge is going to avoid the worst of those thundery downpours.
In the early hours, there's a chance of lighter rain moving in but at the moment it's not looking too heavy.
Here's some dusk footage of the RAF Chinook which is continuing to help shore up the reservoir wall.

I'm on the hill overlooking Whaley Bridge and the Toddbrook Reservoir.
I'm told the Chinook will keep coming in and dropping bags of aggregate until 23:00.

BBC News has spoken to some of the residents who were in the meeting earlier.
This man wasn't impressed with what he found out, and said he was "very upset that questions are being asked inside and the questions aren't getting answered".
Others said they were impressed with the way the rescue teams and volunteers had tackled the work to reduce water levels and called it "really exemplary".
Another resident said: "We just want to go back to normal but obviously if we are in danger we can't go back".

Around 300-400 people were crammed into a very, very hot and sweaty sports hall at Chapel-en-le-Frith High School earlier this evening.
The overall mood was very positive.
Residents have been a credit to the area. They have been patient and supportive, and even at points of the meeting where it got less friendly, they were immediately brought down by positive people thanking the emergency service.
One lady said right at the end "we should be thankful that we have got our lives" and that's very much the feeling around Whaley Bridge.
