D&D 5E - What happens if you cast Meteor Swarm underground or indoors?

Because, well.... ..it's magic. Spells that are dependent on environmental conditions typically call them out - Call Lightning springs to mind as a good example. Now, if you really want something to consider -- Meteor Swarm targets four points, designated by the caster. So it should be possible to cast it 'up' at a ceiling,

I reckon it'd still work. At least, at our table I'd have no issue with it working as normal indoors.

Now, if you really want something to consider -- Meteor Swarm targets four points, designated by the caster. So it should be possible to cast it 'up' at a ceiling, or down a corridor... or at a wall, right? Meteor Swarm creates four lots of a 40' radius spheres wherever the caster can see within its range, the caster could conceivably target the ceiling, the wall, the floor and the back of a wandering ogre's head. Underground or otherwise.
