first off, as the voltage drops (brown out) the amps goes up as it's drawing the same number of watts, as the number of amps goes up the smoke starts to come out.
stuff with transformers will heat up slowly until it starts to smoke, stuff with lighter weight electronics will most likely smoke faster.

short answer is that it will get really smokey in your house.
