William,

       Like Coal and Nuclear fired Electric Generators (Turbine-Generators), when a gas fired Turbine loses it’s fuel, the plant output breaker trips open to remove it from the grid, otherwise it becomes a motor load on the grid for a few seconds.

The Grid will reroute power to the homes and industries in your area with a possible momentary disturbance seen in your lighting. If things don’t go well in the breaker re-alignment, you could lose power until the problem is located and corrected.
