The Sky and Telesecope website has some more info, including a diagram of the radiant point:

The shower peaks on the night of Saturday–Sunday, November 17–18. Leonids start to be visible after the shower's radiant rises above the horizon, around midnight at mid-northern latitudes.
Also, to enforce what Dave said about the possibility of seeing more:

. . . so the 2007 Leonids are expected to be modest, with no more then 10 meteors visible per hour. However, the Leonids have yielded surprises before, so they're always worth watching.
