Harold Camping, 89, of Oakland-Calif.-based Family Radio was reportedly taken by ambulance Thursday night from his home in Alameda, Calif.

"He had a stroke, it was on his right side," a neighbor of Camping's told the Oakland Tribune, noting that she and her husband helped and comforted Camping's wife, Shirley, as the event took place.

"His speech appears to be a little bit slurred but otherwise he's OK," the neighbor said, after her husband spoke with Shirley yesterday. "(Shirley) said he was doing good ... and the only thing that's affected is his speech."
