## Opinion text

*562 TRAYLOR, Justice,
dissenting.
| ! Although the percentages of the defendants’ fault may ultimately be determined to be different for each of the basins flooded during the rain event of April 10-11, 1995, I believe that the interplay of the defendants’ alleged fault satisfies the common cause requirement for class certification. Therefore, I do not think that the trial judge’s action in certifying the class error. I respectfully dissent.
