MTA saying 14 hours to four days. I say four days if they are lucky.
Agreed. Exposure to sea water is going to necessitate a fair amount of equipment needing to be repaired/replaced, I suspect.

It's normally the call volume that shuts them down, not power.
I LOL'd at that pic. Looks like the cars are soaking in grape juice.

As the poster noted, in this case, it IS power. And the reason the towers are still operational is because of their backup.
Wow. Why is it red? Hydraulic fluid from the subway?

Yeah, it's def power. There's sporadic blocks here or there with power, but the vast majority of everything I've seen is plunged back into the 18th century. I can't overstate how great it was to be able to keep tabs on what was going on, Facebook, etc. The last time power went out in the blackout of 03 cell service was just dead.
18th century with cell phones, processed foods and automobiles. Whether servicable or not.
Unless the cell sites get regular service, the backups will only last 2-3 days, in most cases.
MTA has no timetable for service coming back on LIRR/Metro North/Subway. Saying damage is worse than anything they've ever experienced.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but...credit where credit is due to AT&T for not losing cell service, even though the entire island is in the dark.
They're out there today, servicing those sites.Unless the cell sites get regular service, the backups will only last 2-3 days, in most cases.

REALLY! REALLY! You thought having your data center in the basement was a good idea...WHY!!!!???
Queens:
My block in Philly is a war zone trees down, a lamp/wire post snapped right in front of my house, down the block transformers laying all over from being blown off... just got power back after 10 hours (most of which I slept through)
The devastation is amazing. This looks like a picture out of Tornado Alley, where I live.

Seaside Heights:
That's mostly from a fire. Breezy point is technically queens but its actually at the tip of a tiny peninsula south of Brooklyn. Most of queens is doing just fine.
