"It has been a really tough weekend," 89-year-old radio preacher Harold Camping told The San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday.

Camping also said he'll be back at work at his Family Radio network today, and will have more to say about what didn't happen. His Judgment Day website still hasn't been updated.
