Uh, whoops.
Rowlett, Texas, was hit hard by tornadoes during the holiday season, and while Lindsay Diaz and Alan Cutter’s duplex was damaged, they still believed their home, which resides on 7601 and 7603 Calypso Drive, was fixable.
Well, enter the Billy L. Nabors demolition team (their past work can be seen in the picture above). While waiting for their insurance and FEMA to help them, their home was completely torn down by the demolition team that, uh, pretty much destroyed the wrong house. The demolition team had been hired to tear down a home in Rowlett. The address? 7601 Consteau Drive, just one block away from the one they actually tore down.
Their explanation? They are blaming Google Maps and not admitting they made a mistake. The demolition team even sent images of Google Maps to Lindsay and Alan, indicating that the pin for 7601 Cousteau Drive was placed on the duplex Diaz and Cutter owned a block away.
“These two addresses probably shouldn’t point to the same house, especially if one of those houses is scheduled to be destroyed,” a comment marked on Google Maps reads.
Translation: You folks are now out of a house. Perhaps you should Google how to get a new one.
Lindsay has filled out an information report with Rowlett police to make sure the incident is documented.
The idiots at Billy L. Nabors demolition team have still not apologized.
