July's Silly Disaster

Well, it's double-digit time in July, and I have to come up with another silly disaster idea.  I tell myself, I've gotten through the first half of the year.  Now, I'm in the home stretch. Right.  Five more months to go. 

One unforeseen consequence of this situation is that I have to recall what other silly disasters I've come up with, in order not to repeat myself. 

Well, this one looks safe enough.  The inspiration for it comes from the idea that the poles of the earth have reserved themselves in the past, and may do so again.  What might the impact of something like that be?  So many of the creatures in our world depend on the magnetic fields of the earth.

So that's my silly disaster for July.  The poles are reversing, or have reserved.  And somehow, to stave off disaster, your hero has to come up with a way to mitigate the effects.
