Suppose, in an emergency scenario, I pick a couple 15A circuits
and switch all the other breakers off? Safe?


Perhaps it would seem so, but I'd personally opt for extension cords.


Jeez, whotta mess ...


There's too great a danger of somebody who is not fully aware of what's
going on flipping a breaker.


That's a multi-occupant thingy. I shoulda stated there's noone
here 'cept me and my Crazy Birddawg.


I'd hate to be the guy responsible for
electrocuting a power company lineman working to restore power.


This would be possible given the main breaker in my house is
switched off? No comprendere, senor.

All it takes is a momentary lapse of attentiveness or (particularly
since we're talking about emergency conditions) somebody new on the
scene.

At any rate, I believe it violates code, is illegal, and is dangerous.
I understand all that might not stop you doing it, but I would advise
against it.
