'less than an eyeful' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'in a flurry of rain the end of the street' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a flurry of' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'flurried' mean this).
'the end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letters of 'the street' are 'et'.
'rain' is an anagram of 'rina'.
'rina' placed around 'et' is 'RETINA'.

'is' is the link.
