Kat, the Leonid meteor shower always lasts about 4 to 5 days, with at least 2 days of peak activity. I'd imagine the Leonid is similar, though I don't know for sure.

What happened this morning,though, was a "meteor storm" within the Perseid meteor shower. That's passed and is not expected to happen again for a century.   Drat!

(Oregon goes through the driest summer on record -- pretty much clear and dry through July, August, September, October, and the first week of November -- then it thoroughly clouds over when it's Leonid time!)
