Rae Wilson

LATEST: HUNDREDS of State Emergency Service volunteers and firefighters have joined police and defence force personnel cleaning up Brisbane and Ipswich after Thursday's super storm.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services reported on Friday morning there had been more than 1400 calls for help - mostly in the southern Brisbane suburbs of Marooka and Annerley.

The fire department said It will take days for all the requests to be completed.

Firefighters have responded to 475 storm-related incidents since 4pm on Thursday with twelve teams of specialist firefighters based at Annerley, Fairfield, Moorooka and Yeronga carrying out rapid damage assessments across the greater Brisbane area.

Rural fire fighters are helping streets which are still covered in downed trees and debris more than 12 hours after the ferocious storm hit.
