HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Mistakes do happen, but it's not often that it results in someone's home nearly being destroyed.

A Hollywood family says they were eating dinner Thursday night when a construction bulldozer began tearing apart their backyard shed, then headed for their home at 2322 Johnson St.

Wesenia Reyes and her husband tried to get the bulldozer to stop, but wound up running for cover, watching the machine tear apart their roof (pictured).

Reyes isn't sure what to make of the whole thing.

"It's funny, it's scary, it's funny. You know. I don't know what to think," she said.

Officials say the bulldozer was supposed to be tearing down homes in the area, just not the Reyes house.

Now the city says the home is unsafe to live in. The Reyes family was renting the property, and now they're looking for a new place to stay until it's repaired.

The owner of the company responsible for the mix up, George Zaragozi, paid for the Reyes to stay in a hotel overnight.

Workers say it wasn't their fault. They say the boss on the job led them to Reyes house and indicated that it was slated for demolition. Those workers did say that they felt badly about the mistake.
