It's more like the earth develops several poles (some measurements show as many as 8 poles in the past) during the reversal. It doesn't go away completely. Just fear mongering. I'd worry about gravity reversing polarity - then you have problems!

Oh, great. I have a hard enough time with the magnetic compass as it is now, let alone with eight poles...

How did that go, accelerate north, decelerate north-by-northwest..?

Well, on the other hand, all the girls skirts would fly up.

So we'd have that going for us.

Which is nice.
