Update 9 p.m. SEPTA reports: “RRD: All regional rail service is operating with delays of up to 2 hours due to severe weather conditions and power problems.”
[Update 7:34 p.m.] The storm has also knocked out power throughout the region, and created a bunch of messes all over the place:

OK, I stand corrected. Looks like 550K+ without power in the region. Numbers keep trending up.

[Original] Tonight’s severe thunderstorm has made a mess of the evening commute.
To wit: Service across SEPTA’s regional rail network has been pretty much knocked out. The Airport, Chestnut Hill East, Chestnut Hill West, Cynwyd, Fox Chase, Glenside Combined, Lansdale/Doylestown, Media/Elwyn, Manayunk/Norristown, Trenton, Warminster, Wilmington/Newark, and West Trenton are all suspended until further notice. (Emphasis ours.) You can use SEPTA’s website to find alternate service.
PATCO was also having problems:
Due to smoke in the tunnel between City Hall and Broadway trains are currently not running through Camden. The smoke was not from a train.

Due to the current storm and a loss of power PATCO is temporarily shutdown. We apologize for any inconvenience.
