More than 1300 homes across Logan are without power following a severe storm that bucketed down hailstones nearing 9cm.
Now home owners, car owners and insurance companies have been forced into clean-up mode.
The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed there were reports of hail between 6cm and 8cm, with locals reporting stones up to 9cm in suburbs like Cornubia and Eagleby.
Energex said suburbs impacted by power outages include: Buccan, Greenbank, Loganholme, Logan Village, Mundoolun, Munruben, North Maclean, Underwood, Veresdale, Veresdale Scrub, Waterford, Wolffdene, and Woodridge.
RACQ Insurance said more than 3600 insurance claims had been made across the south-east of Queensland following recent storms, including Monday’s hail storm.
“We know the areas of Logan, Moreton Bay and Brisbane’s eastern suburbs bore the brunt with large hail causing damage to vehicles and homes, including smashed windscreens, water leaks through roofs and trees and debris blocking roads,” RACQ chief executive Trent Sayers said.
“To fast-track motor vehicle claims we have secured locations in the southeast to commence assessments and repairs for glass breakage so we can help keep our members mobile.
“Claims for building damage are being allocated to our builder panel and we are prioritising attendance for vulnerable members, however all claims are being actioned as rapidly as possible.”
