We are DOOMED due to cataclysmic pole shift! :laugh2:

================================

TAMPA - Scientists say the magnetic north pole is moving toward Russia and the fallout has reached -- of all places -- Tampa International Airport.

The airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to repaint the numeric designators at each end and change taxiway signage to account for the shift in location of the Earth's magnetic north pole.

The closure of the west parallel runway will result in more activity on the east parallel runway and more noise for residential areas of South Tampa.

The busiest runway will be re-designated 19R/1L on aviation charts. It's been 18R/36L, indicating its alignment along the 180-degree approach from the north and the 360-degree approach from the south.

Later this month, the airport's east parallel runway and the seldom used east-west runway will be closed to change signage to their new designations.

This shift in the magnetic field is probably what killed the birds.

That's what I've been thinking since I originally heard that bird story. This sort of backs that up.

Ah, one of those New Tampa peeps, huh?

How's traffic? haha

The bummer is that they just had 36R closed for renovations.
