    A woman whose house was damaged by a tornado late last year now owns nothing but rubble.

    A demolition crew destroyed her building by mistake on Tuesday after Google Maps provided wrong directions.

    Instead of navigating workers to a duplex on Cousteau Drive in Rowlett, Texas, Google Maps took them a block away to Diaz's duplex on Calypso Drive.

    "[Google's] mistake caused me to lose my home," she told CNNMoney on Friday.

    Google acknowledged the Maps error in an email, and said it's investigating the cause.

    That's what you get when you put (software) app before (brain) app.
