One simple and plausible explanation (imo) is that they all noticed local geological evidence of ancient flooding, couldn't quite understand or explain how it happened, and with thoughts and fears about what would happen if it occured again, their similar myths arose. Sort of similar to how different peoples in far apart places on earth made up other somewhat similar myths about the sun, moon, and stars and what effects they have on earthlings.
