The world did not come to an apocalyptic end Saturday as predicted by an 89-year-old California man who spent a lot of money to say so.
For weeks, Harold Camping of Oakland spread his doomsday warning throughout North America, saying "super terrible" earthquakes would consume the planet beginning at 6 p.m.
Nothing happened.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported early Saturday there had been no significant earthquake activity anywhere in the world, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Camping, who describes himself as a scriptural scholar, used his "Open Forum" TV and radio show to spread a warning of humanity's demise. The Times said the campaign cost at least $100 million that was paid for by the "sale and swap of TV and radio stations."
"This earthquake will be so powerful it will throw open all graves," the evangelist said.
Camping previously predicted the world as humans know it would end in 1994.
