"The event could be a pole shift. I'm not talking about a magnetic pole shift. I'm talking about a physical pole shift. And not a gradual one..."

That sounds insane to me. A physical pole shift - Antarctica on top, the Arctic below- would wipe out just about everything, and I doubt that there's any evidence the planet has ever done anything of the kind.

The magnetic pole,l they say, has recently shifted from the North Pole to a few hundred miles (I believe) away. Which, if it continues, is disturbing enough, entailing disruptions and consequences of many kinds but that is far, far different from a physical shift.
