Ella McCartney is counting her blessings after a large tree came crashing through the roof of her Coolum home on Sunday night.
Just after 9pm, Ms McCartney was relaxing on the couch after a big afternoon run when a loud crash came thundering from above her head.
According to Ms McCartney, the "huge" tree pierced through the ceiling of their two-storey home leaving water bucketing into the lounge room.
The Coast mum was in shock as she tried to comfort her two young children when they came racing into the lounge room.
