Harold Camping says that the End of the World! ™ will begin with a massive earthquake on May 21 at 6 PM local time in the first time zone. He goes on to say, “And then it will follow the sun around for 24 hours. As each area of the world gets to that point of 6 p.m. on May 21, then it will happen there, and until it happens, the rest of the world will be standing far off and witnessing the horrible thing that is happening.”
You can follow the action by subscribing to the USGS RSS feed for 5+ earthquakes. Of course on any given day there are multiple 5+ earthquakes on the western Pacific rim, and a few that are 6+, so be on the lookout for those pesky 7’s and 8’s. Maybe even 9’s or 10’s. How exciting would that be?
Time zones get screwy in the summer with some countries springing forward an hour and some not so I'm not exactly sure where 6 PM on the 21st first occurs but here in the eastern US we'll have at least 16 hours (and maybe 17) to party before the End.
Party on!
I'll be trying to stay alive here on the West Coast!
