What you have to know is that the cities we know as Sodom, Gomorra, Admah and Zebojim were cituated around or above giant "rock-pitch" mines. All the angels had to do to make it rain fire and brimstone from heaven down there would be to introduce an igniter, and the whole deposit could go ballistic and destroy the towns cituated on the surface above....

Well, we are not even sure where the cities were in the first place. But Genesis has a story about this place, it says that the areas around the "Siddim valley" (the cities in question) rested uppon pitch mines, and that there are salt lakes there today. When Abraham looks out over the burning cities he recolects how it looks like the smoke from a smelting furnace. They probably used this "pitch" to cast metal, they were said to be extremely violent. I guess this "pitch is either coal or some kind of petroleum.

Btw even wondered why Sodom has became associated with homosexuality?
