Re: Southern pronunciation of "lever" and "ei
Hi there, I'm new to this forum, a Westerner born and bred, but I've got grandparents from the north (Michigan) and grandparents from the South (Arkansas).

... (Are you experiencing floods where you live????) No. I'd be fine any way, up on a hill, although one of my creeks and a spring got kinda large for a bit. It was like the clouds parted at our county and went around. Flooding all around, but not here. For an example of how much rain it was, my br...
