The White Council is kind of a Joke.

The WOJ on Kemmler came from someone asking who was the previous Warden. Jim wouldn't answer the last one, but he did volunteer Kemmler being the next previous before that.

Eb also said New Madrid was one of the disasters he'd caused with it, though, and that earthquake was sometime in the 1810's. So either Jim was answering that one off the cuff and misspoke his timeline, or Eb borrowed the staff for a one-off before taking it up permanently.

I think he meant that the Blackstaff enabled him to use the kind of magic that would cause such a thing by protecting him from being corrupted by it.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I believe like Christos, Fortier tended to represent African and Asian interests on the White Council, leaving him little opportunity to visit Demonreach in North America. There was also concern that with Eb finally accepting a seat North America was over represented hence Christos.
vincentric:
After a rereading of SF, I have to conclude that there was no Warden over Demonreach at the time.
Otherwise, six Denarians wouldn't have been able to set up shop there for 2-3 days without the White Council showing up. I can't believe that the island doesn't have some way to alert the warden of an invasion by powerful mystic forces who are setting up a camp for an prolonged stay. (At minimum, the time it takes to break Ivy.)

Unless the Warden was OK with having Denarian houseguests.
