The guy deserves to be in hiding with regard to causing unnecessary panic & fleeing and most of all, wasting precious resources.
For all that it is worth, he should at least put out an apology for his mis-predictions. Easy to make claim of fame when you've predicted right, but when you're wrong, where is the accountability?
He'll probably fly off to somewhere like Australia to start life all over again (like most baddies have done in NZ).
