The next day the cities Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed, fire and brimstone rained from the heavens and destroyed both cities and the lands around it. However Lot, his wife and two daughters were the only ones to be saved. While they were fleeing into the desert, they were warned by the angels  ‘Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain or you will be swept away’.Yet Lot’s wife did look back to that was lost and for her disobedience she was turned into a Pillar of Salt.
