OAKLAND -- The Oakland minister who incorrectly predicted the world would end May 21 was scheduled to be released from a local hospital after being treated for a mild stroke, a talk show host at his radio station said Monday.Harold Camping, 89, was at his Alameda home with his wife Thursday evening when he suffered the stroke, said Family Radio host Craig Hulsebos.
It was business as usual at the Family Radio office in Oakland on Monday. Workers washed RVs still emblazoned with the admonition, "May 21, 2011, Judgment Day is Coming!"
After the world did not end, Camping said he was "flabbergasted" that he had been wrong and revised his prediction to a new date - October 21, 2011.
Employees at the office declined to talk about Camping's condition in detail, instead referring to a release from his family.
"Doctors are pleased with his progress," the statement read. "Mr. Camping's family appreciates your thoughts and prayers."
