[elvisman]

Im going away for the weekend and im a little nervous about leaving my 6oo Watt HID Bulb on while im away.. Im in my 3rd week of flowering and a 12/12 light schedule on a timer.. Would it be harmful to my plants if i just unplugged it from now till Sunday night 7pm?!?

This is true, but he will also have the peace of mind not worrying about that HID in a tent unattended.

Back in SoFl, same deal with the power outages, mainly from hurricanes.

Yes, it can be harmful. Three days of dark is enough to stop the flowering hormone and start it thinking it should be revegging. I'm not sure what you think may happen...

If things are set up properly nothing should happen, are you worried about somthing specific happening, has there ever been an accident that you were home for???

A fire's going to happen whether you're there or not, imo. The only thing you could do is try to stop it, which, often times, does not happen. Most people don't know how to properly use a fire extinguisher.
