The Third Degree

The national weather bureau sees a quick flash on a weather screen. Weeks later they see another one in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. The Navy is interested but can not track it, even when they can see it. The Navy brings together many civilians to help them. What they stumble upon is a huge solar flare about to happen.
Everyone’s attention is now on the flare and they forget the flash. The flare will destroy most satellites and last for days or weeks. The President nationalizes most industries to get enough food before it hits in less than week.
The Navy will sail close to the ‘flash’ when the solar flare hits. The question being will they return? The Army is out shooting looters as the world is hit by the flare. Most unprotected wiring is melted in place by the flare.
The event in the Atlantic Ocean is found to be the north magnetic pole and the south magnet pole is found in the western pacific. The solar flare appears to have moved the north and south magnetic poles permanently. This will cause problems for most animals that use them to migrate.
It takes days for the flare to pass and will things return to more normal? However, the tilt of the Earth is changing because of what? No one knows what is going on. It tilts more every day. Soon the earth is giving the people a ‘Third degree’ tilt. They now wonder if Seattle will be ice locked for many winter months. May be Salt Lake City become a salt water port to China? The world will not return to normal. Will the tilt move the north pole to the equator and freeze the amazon jungles? When will the earthquakes start?
Events settle down and the tilt is going down to only two degrees, A ‘second degree’ by mother earth, not good but better than what it was,
However, they find four magnetic south poles when the old north magnetic pole was before the flare. The President is sick about all the bad news, day after day.
Then seven magnetic south poles show up at the old north magnetic pole and they start eating each other. The President feels it will never end.
Is there anything anyone can do, but sit and watch?
