Chris Hemsworth wife Elsa Pataky was forced to make a dramatic exit from her car after being caught in the rain bomb that has hit parts of Australia this week.
The Spanish actress, 44, was driving to her $20million Byron Bay home when she became completely stuck in deep flood water.
Elsa tried to continue on but eventually had to abandon her car and escape via her window when she could no longer open the door.
The mum put on a brave face as she documented the unfolding events on Instagram.
After realising her perilous situation, Elsa first shared a picture of her rain-soaked wing mirror and asked her followers for help.
The Fast and Furious star then gave a glimpse of the murky flood water rising up around her vehicle before turning the camera on her face for a selfie.
"Great job, Elsa," she wrote as the caption as she blasted her decision to leave home in the dangerous conditions.
"A bit too optimistic? I was so sure I could cross," The trapped mum told her followers.
"I got stuck. Awesome. Oh god, oh god, what am I doing?" she cried.
Elsa then kept concerned followers updated on her situation as she revealed she'd been left with no choice but to clamber head first out of her window.
"My only option... through the window," she explained.
Parts of Australia's East Coast have been battered by rain fall over the last few days leading to numerous floods.
As Elsa battled to escape, the children she shares with Chris - India, seven, and twins Sasha and Tristan, six, and her friend Luke Zoochi, looked on.
Luckily for Elsa, her friend Zoochi was on hand to help her out and used his four-wheel drive to tow her van out.
"What would I do without you?" Elsa told him.
Elsa lives in Byron Bay with her husband Chris, 36, and their three children.
Chris, who is the middle Hemsworth brother to Liam, 30, and Luke, 39, decided to take a step back from acting in order to spend more time with his family.
