And disruptions in oil operations are already being reported.
Reuters via Khaleej Times: Cyclone Gonu sweeps Oman, disrupts oil, shipping (6 June 2007)
Cyclone Gonu pummelled Oman on Wednesday, halting oil and gas exports for a second day and forcing thousands to flee the coast, but weakened as it moved through the Arabian Sea, a major route for Gulf oil shipments. The storm, which peaked to a maximum-force Category Five hurricane on Tuesday, has been downgraded to a Category One hurricane, with a maximum sustained wind speed of about 92 mph, the US military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center said. Oman's meteorology department said the centre of the storm made landfall in Oman around midnight and was heading northwest to Muscat, bringing torrential rains, strong winds and high waves but the cyclone was expected to dissipate on Thursday.

Which is why Tokyo probably will be ruined one day. Same goes for LA. Same goes for Napels. And so on...
There were people in the Netherlands that had built their houses in the storm beds of the big rivers and who were then all scorned the river flooded them in the early ninenties. And those houses were built inside the storm bed for the 25 years range.
I guess it was just damnable misfortune they put LA on the San Andreas fault and Tokyo on a triple junction.
