Jerri Rae said she was "flabbergasted" when the large concrete slab fell onto the doorstep of her house in Rugeley on Sunday afternoon.
The 38-year-old had been out shopping when she returned to her council-owned property at around 3.30pm to pack away her purchases.
It was then that she heard a loud bang and felt her house shake, a feeling she described as a "mini earthquake".
Jerri said: "It sounded like the roof had collapsed. I ran upstairs to make sure everyone was safe and then we opened the door and the huge concrete porch was on the ground – we were just so shocked.
