And, simply due to Chaos Theory, certain weather events that occurred in real like might not even occur in the Fenverse. OTOH, perhaps some other nasty events occur that otherwise might not have (for example, perhaps a hurricane that IOTL was a weak and forgettable storm becomes a multi-billion-dollar disaster in the Fenverse).
Yeah, the 9.0(ish) earthquake would still likely happen, yeah. I don't see much reason why seismic and geological disasters won't continue to happen since their controls are beyond human effect. But, after the BP disaster, I'd actually see Fen putting a major effort into disaster-proofing or stopping major incidents like that in their tracks. Maybe the Blazers going in in radiation-proof suits to hook in emergency backup ship reactors to the cooling systems or something else like that when they realize that the reactor complex is suffering a critical failure, or mitigating it to begin with by convincing the UN or some other group to mandate greater safeties on nuclear reactors with solid handwavium backup batteries for cooling systems paid for by non-profit fen foundations. Might be a nice story there covering the news coverage blurbs of fen going into that disaster to stop the worst parts--force field projector getting set down in a critical tsunami spot to hold off the wave, cislunar space forces dropping everything to come rushing to victim's aid and pluck people out of the path of the surge, the aforementioned meltdown and fen efforts with their equipment to keep the reactor from frying--and the news dealing with fen doing their best to save as many lives as they can and what happens afterwards, maybe even the political fallout.
Still working on my own story, but I was thinking about a set of 1-hour ficlets of a carbon scrubber supersonic zepplin crew near LA, and the air traffic controller they keep bugging with their activities off the coast.
