Are there secular historical accounts from the cultures encountered in major events by Biblical peoples of the Old Testament (Like the Plagues, Jericho, Judges, Sodom, etc) to corroborate the stories in the Bible ?

The short answer for the specific stories you mention is no.

We have external corroboration for some parts of the Hebrew Bible, starting with king Omri of Israel (1 Kings 16:16-28), whose name is attested on the Mesha Stele, set up by king Mesha of Moab somewhere in the mid-9th century BCE. There are also extensive Assyrian and Babylonian records parallelling the later kings of Israel and Judah - most notable of these are Hezekiah (2 Kings 18-20), who rebelled against Sennacherib, and Jehoiachin (2 Kings 24), who was exiled to Babylon.

We also have extant myths that parallel biblical material (the Babylonian Enuma elish, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the Etana Epic, to name a few), as well as pseudo-historical texts resembling some biblical stories (Sargon of Akkad, in this text the illegitimate son of a priestess, is put in a basket and floats down the river like Moses).

In some cases, archaeological evidence flat-out contradicts the biblical narrative, most notably in the case of the Exodus/conquest of Canaan (e.g. Jericho was found to have had no walls at all in the relevant time period).
