EARTHQUAKE

Doomsday prophet Harold Camping is claiming that the Second Coming of Jesus is destined to take place on May 21 which will be coupled with a destructive earthquake followed by the rapture of true Christians.

Masataka Shimizu, the president of Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Tepco), which operates Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, has stepped down from his post on Friday.

An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck western Turkey on Thursday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Doomsday soothsayer Harold Camping insists that the world will end in a few hours from now, with a destructive earthquake pulverizing each region of the world at 6 P.M. local time. The vast majority see the end of the world prediction as farcical and hallucinatory talk of someone who thinks so highly about himself that he can't imagine a world that outlives him. However there is a minority who get jitters as the appointed time of the apocalypse nears.

Panasonic Corp's president said on Friday that he sees the current financial year as an extremely tough one for the electronics giant, with the effects of the devastating March earthquake and tsunami continuing to hamper sales through September.

It's been more than two months since 8.9 magnitude earthquakes struck Japan and took a toll on Japanese people and crippled the economy.

Looks like it’s the doomsday season, again, signs and newspaper ads across the U.S. and in other places around the world have been warning that the judgment day is coming, but the question remains whether it is on May 21, 2011 or December 21, 2012.

A radiation alarm went off at Tokyo Electric Power company’s (TEPCO) Fukushima power plant even before the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which served as a contrary to earlier theories the reactors were damaged by the natural catastrophes.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) released Thursday handout tsunami waters photos taken from near its number 5 reactor at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 11, when a 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan that triggered the tsunami.

If Oakland preacher Harold Camping's doomsday prediction comes true on May 21, 2011, what is left on the terra firma will be a handful of dust and splinters of bones. But the moot question is, how FAR from truth is the musings of the 88-year-old minister?

Japan’s economy shrank at an annualized rate of 3.7 percent in the first three months of the year.

Robert Fitzpatrick, Harold Camping disciple and firm believer in a May 21, 2011 Doomsday, is fairly confident he will be lifted up in the Rapture

If you've been following the preaching of Harold Camping, according to him, Judgment Day is merely days away. So set your clock for 6pm on Saturday, May 21st.

If Harold Camping is right, Judgment Day is near. Near as in four days away. Yes, you've heard correctly. The Oakland-based Family Radio Worldwide, of which Camping is the president, said they have crunched the numbers, have done the math properly, and the numbers prove that the beginning of the end of the world as we know it is May 21. A day, the Family Radio Worldwide website says, the Bible guarantees.
