So the Story of an entire city being leveled and burning to the ground, would surely have been quite the story for a long time. The fact that the area is prone to Quakes and most innner city strutures would have been clay brick and wood, one good shake and the whole city would have been leveled and burned in the aftermath. Stories being what they are grow to legend etc, and thus you get the sory of 2 cities being flattened, at the hand of God.

That's not really relevant to the point scaeagles was trying to make. Under the assumption that you DO believe in God's destruction of Sodom and Gamora (as well as the copious other stories of God destroying things), Katrina certainly looks like a pale imiatation.
