The man behind tomorrow’s doomsday

Oakland’s very own Harold Camping and his prediction that the end of the world is coming tomorrow has been a boon to late night comics. But what’s known about him? Well, for starters, he’s a UC Berkeley-trained civil engineer. And for another, he’s predicted rapture before—in 1994—but says he was only 99.9% certain then. It’s all in Katy Sinclair’s in-depth piece on Camping for East Bay Express back in 2003. Makes a good Sunday read.
