Power outages are never fun, but a Connecticut woman had a very bad time during a recent one…

According to CBS Sacramento, an unnamed woman was searching her home for a candle on Thursday night. Without much light in her house, she lit what she thought was a candle at around 9:30 p.m.

However, much to her surprise, what she actually ignited was a stick of dynamite. Even worse, it ended up exploding in her hand, blowing out the windows in the room, and leaving her severely injured.

Thankfully, one of her children was able to call 911 and she made it to a hospital. Also, no one else suffered any injuries from the blast.
