According to the MTA, all service has been restored, except to the Port Washington line which is still suspended. Trains, which were stopped because of yesterday quick, pummeling storm that hit Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island hard, started moving around 11 p.m. last night and most service was back around 5 a.m. this morning. We've added some pictures of last night's totally haywire commute—make that non-commute, since service was shutdown.
Update 8:30 a.m.: There's partial service on the Port Washington line (with delays) and there are delays on the Hempstead, Oyster Bay and Port Jefferson lines, too.
