...the missionaries took their little flocks and went up into the mountains, and lo! there they were, up high safe and sound while the flood came and took all the others away.

A certain "style of thinking" requires us to rate the probabilities of such a thing happening before we can feel "comfortable" that it could be justified by reason....

Otherwise the implication would be it's just a random thing, a coincidence -- albeit a serendipitous one for the folks on the mountain. :^)

Take your choose: God or the random governs this world....

That given, I'd say God would be the reasonable choice. :^)
