A man died from carbon monoxide poisoning after a generator was run in an improperly ventilated garage; four others in the house were hospitalized. [1]
What this could mean for you
Electricity service may remain unavailable for residents and businesses in affected states.
High winds and falling trees can damage power lines and other infrastructure, producing outages.
Reported basis: [1] · The possible effect is interpretation.
Depends on: Storm-damaged networks require assessment and repair before service returns.
Improper generator use could expose households to carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Generators emit carbon monoxide, which can accumulate when they run in enclosed or inadequately ventilated spaces.
Reported basis: [1] · The possible effect is interpretation.
Depends on: People use generators indoors or in attached spaces during outages.
Possible time frame: days, if those conditions hold.

What changes the outlook
Risk increases if…
Further flooding or wind damage would add to repair needs and prolong outages.
Additional unsafe generator use during power cuts could cause more carbon-monoxide poisonings.
Pressure eases if…
Power restoration would reduce dependence on generators and the associated poisoning hazard.
Further weakening of the storm would limit additional wind damage, although existing outages could continue.
Still unclear
The full extent of flooding, property damage and injuries was not established in the available account.
The report did not specify when power would be restored across the affected states.
