But what is this event you speak of. A solar flare? Moon blowing up? Yellowstone going off? DC getting nuked? Earthquake?

i dont see any hoax here. are you denying that the sun will rise on sunday 25th? i see a legitimate, albeit well known prediction.
A hoax is a deliberate attempt to deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when the hoaxer knows it is not; or that something is true, when it is false. In an instance of a hoax, an object or event is not what it appears to be or what it is claimed to be; for example, "snake oil," which was sold by 19th century traveling salesmen in the United States as a cure-all. A hoax differs from a magic show in that the audience is unaware of being deceived - whereas in watching a magician perform a magical act, the audience expects to be tricked.
It is possible to perpetrate a hoax by making only true statements using unfamiliar wording or context (see Dihydrogen monoxide hoax). Unlike a fraud or con (which is usually aimed at a single victim and are made for illicit financial or material gain), a hoax is often perpetrated as a practical joke, to cause embarrassment, or to provoke social change by making people aware of something. Many hoaxes are motivated by a desire to satirize or educate by exposing the credulity of the public and the media or the absurdity of the target. For instance, the hoaxes of James Randi poke fun at believers in the paranormal and alternative medicine. The many hoaxes of Alan Abel and Joey Skaggs satirize people's willingness to believe the media. Political hoaxes are sometimes motivated by the desire to ridicule or besmirch opposing politicians or political institutions, often before elections. Journalistic scandals overlap with hoaxes to some extent.

here is the gist of it.
October 25th will be a Sunday. i see people in bed. sleeping. resting. Suddenly the sky turns bright. The light is blinding. You cant look at it directly. Its starting. The day has come. the Whole world has gotten warmer. its as if this magical light has chased the night and cold away.
i know it sounds crazy. sky changing color and blinding light. But i do believe she knows what shes talking about. October 25th will truly be extraordinary. I think ill get up earlier just so i can she this predicted event live as it unfolds before me.
