As CNN called New York's Republican primary for Donald Trump, something kind of amazing happened:

The Empire State Building turned red to match the Republican Party's color, not signal that the apocalypse is upon us.
Nonetheless, this inspired a few jokes on Twitter:

Whatever the case, it's good to know that if the apocalypse is coming, the Empire State Building has the capability to warn us.
