And yes, if the poles shifted completely they'd have to repaint everything. if it was a complete 180 degree flip, the numbers at the ends of the runways would need to be swapped. (eg, a 12/30 runway would become 30/12.)

The only thing I can figure out is that they just are changing the names of the taxiways ....

I do not discuss the fact magnetic poles are changing position ! that is another problem !
but here, why just in Tampa should it happen and not elsewhere ??? ....
1) This is very unusual in light of the millions of animal die-offs the past few days
2) This is propaganda campaign to get us and keep us in a state of confusion (again, in light of the massive kill-off)
Off the top of my head I don't know how much the change has increased in rate (if at all) compared to previous years, but I have heard of this happening somewhat frequently (not that the same runway must be renumbered frequently, but various runways all over the world must be renumbered every now and then).

This brings a question to my mind.
Would it half to stop at 180 degrees? what laws are there that might govern such a cosmic event.? What would stop two or even three flips from occuring? What if it just keeps flipp'in ?
They may move back, they may speed up and cause a flip..
The poles have flipped multiple times throughout Earth's history according to geology.
I think also that lil part about, "Changes in the earths core" carrys at least a lil wieght.

This has absolutely nothing to do with these animal die offs, the magnetic pole is constantly changing, even moving around 80kms in a day.
I don't see why..The Earth's axis wouldn't change and neither would our rotation speed.
Well from what I read, the core is what is doing the effecting. causing this to happen. At the end of the article my man.
How the hell do you know Chad (in all this infinite wisdom you think you possess)? No one knows what's causing this. But you do? Why don't you get your tookus off the computer and get on over to National Wildlife Health Center and lend them a hand?
And to me, they are going about this whole entire field (of science) inside out and upside down. Don't ask me to explain it. I can't.
Right now, they're trying to figure out if gravity is really what they thought/taught it to be. So.....save it. Don't tell me what 'they' say about Poles. Or shifts. Or Solar Cycles and especially what's killing all these fish and birds.
Science is NOT as difficult as they're making it out to be. Anyone should be able to understand it instantly. We shouldn't need schools and professors. That's how rumors start and stay. It's really barbaric. But that's for another topic. Another time.
