LOUIS B. BUTLER, JR., J.
¶ 42. (concurring). While I agree with Part II of Justice Bradley's dissent (that a negligent misrepresentation can constitute an "occurrence" under Pekin's insurance policy), I agree with the majority that the misrepresentation alleged in the complaint is insufficient to establish a "causation nexus" within the terms of that insurance policy. Majority op., ¶ 33. The preexisting 100 — year flood plain in this case caused any "property damage," not Lorenz's presale misrepresentation. Majority op., ¶ 39. Accordingly, I join parts I, II and III(C) of the majority opinion. I therefore respectfully concur.
