What are the odds of 2 people flopping a flush?

[chipbrave]

What are the odds of 2 people flopping a flush in Hold'em. This is been happening to me almost once a session recently, with me usually having the lower one. Fortunately, I have gotten better at recognizing this, but it is still hard to not lose a fair amount of chips when this happens.
I was just curious as to the odds.
Thanks

I posted this a long time ago and I think the answer I got was the odds of 2 people being suited in the same suit are 5.38%. I hope I'm right and this helps.

If you want to do the math yourself then you can read how you do it here. There is an exampel about how you calculate the odds that someone has two flushcards when you have none. I did this one time but I am to lazy to do it again...

If I flop a flush, the odds of someone else flopping one are 100%, unless I have the Ace, then it's 0%, but then the odds of the board pairing on the turn are 100%.

The board pairs the turn 35% then it is 100% on the river with me holding the nut flush.
