NO, then we would have dead birds all over the world, this was just in that town.
[Why I'm doing this, I don't know.]
Do you have any clue WTF you are talking about?
Do you even know what the polar reversal actually means?
Do you know how it will happen? For that matter, do you know how it is already happening at this very moment? You do know, for that matter, that it is very slow, and pockets of instability will occur throughout the world, in a fairly random process, for an unpredictable amount of time, before it finally just flops on us, and then goes through another period of instability before it stabilizes all backwards on us..... .... right?
Just checking, because if you're not trolling, you really need to just go to google and do some learning. If you're trolling, then fuck off; if you're not, then I'm not doing the work for you.
To help in your research, it should be made known that there have already been multiple pockets of reverse polarity. It doesn't happen at once, it doesn't happen in a fluid motion. In the time of instability, it just sort of goes crazy for a little awhile, until it settles into its new rhythm.
With that said, I have no idea how any of this actually will impact any animals that tap into the geomagnetic field; theories discuss the impact it will have on migratory behavior, but mankind has never experienced a polar reversal, so it's all fairly new. Yet on that note, it's not a crapshooter theory, because the evidence is popping up all around us that readily supports the discoveries of yesteryear.
