Not quite the same because Huston is not the only city that has experienced extreme climate these two years, many other cities also have (maybe not 500 years flood, but close).
So that would be like: one pair is born the same day, and 20 other people in the room are born a week around that day.
Hardly a coincidence.
It's more likely that there was a party about 9 months and X years before that day. (I'm not sure how far we can go with this silly birthday analogy:)
