One of the dangers of power coming back and having generators running is that electricity is now potentially flowing into downed lines making them live power lines. Another problem with intermittent power is that appliances can be shorted or fried by the surges or low surges. For the safety of your community, please turn off the main switch to your house until power is back on and stable.
