Many people woke up on the 22nd of May to find that everything was still in place, Jesus Christ didn't return, the West Coast of the United States is still intact, no worldwide earthquake happened. What was predicted was a no-show.
Avid followers of Harold Camping were also probably scratching theirs heads wondering why nothing happened on May 21st and what to do now that they don't have jobs, they don't have savings and some don't even have their own homes because of their efforts to support Camping financially to spread the word.
"With maxed-out credit cards and a growing mountain of bills, the rapture would have been a relief," says Keith Bauer, a 38-year-old tractor trailer driver, took a road trip with his family to see the Grand Canyon before the world ended.
"I do not understand why ...," says Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent $140,000 of his life savings to advertise the Rapture in New York, said he was dumbfounded when life went on as usual Saturday. "I do not understand why nothing has happened."

Camping appeared outside his compound on Oakland roughly 18 hours after he predicted the End will come. "I'm looking for answers," Camping said, "But now I have nothing else to say." "Ill be back to work on Monday and will say more then." he added.
Many will surely be waiting for what he has to say.
"He's in big trouble with God." says Jacky Alnor, a Hayward resident. "It's given people who hate Christianity an excuse to hate it even more," she said. People can just paint with broad brush strokes."
