My HR person sent me this today:

It is being reported that there are black outs in parts of the Bronx and the UES affecting some subways. The MTA site says:

Following a Power dip affecting our signals on the East Side of Manhattan and portions of the Bronx, we now have signal power, allowing us to operate trains safely.

Service on many trains is returning but with extensive delays. Passengers are advised to allow for extra time and if possible, stagger their commute home.

We apologize for the unavoidable delays in service

Transportation is greatly affected by power outages mostly on the East Side of Manhattan - i.e.

Subway lines: E, V, D, 4, 5, 6 and parts of MetroNorth

The power outage appears to cover 77th Street to 110th Street and 144th Street to 177th Street on the East Side.
