Any ideas on how long it will take a 40 Gal electric water heater to
have a problem with the water supply shut off, pipes drained but water
heater full, and electric still on? Or will it not be a problem at all
if the water heater was not drained? What would be the worst case
consequences?

I'm 4 hours away or I would just shut the power off.....

Thanks for any input, Rich

If the water is still in the tank, there should be no problem at all.
