Logan mayor Darren Power has hailed the unsung heroes in the State Emergency Service as the clean-up from state election day's severe storms continues.
SES members from as far as South Australia were alongside their Logan colleagues to help residents with the storm recovery.
Huge hail had battered suburbs as voters were forced to find shelter at polling booths.

SES volunteers were fixing roofs and removing debris before heading back home.
Cr Power thanked the volunteers for their work.
"The dedication shown by these SES volunteers is incredible and I can't thank them enough for their unwavering commitment to support the Logan community following recent storms," Cr Power said.
"Hail battered parts of our city on Sunday with suburbs such as Boronia Heights and Greenbank copping the wrath of it.
"Fortunately we are beginning to see signs of recovery with SES crews working quickly to repair the damage.
"These amazing people often neglect the damage inflicted on their own homes to help others get back on their feet."
Sian Zimmer, from Enfield's SES in South Australia, arrived in Queensland on Monday, November 2.
Ms Zimmer left her colleagues at the Port Lincoln Flying Club where she works as a flying instructor to offer a hand to Queenslanders.
"We get the call and off we go to wherever we're needed, it's just what we do," she said.
Mr Stobart is a senior research scientist with the Fisheries division of the South Australian Research and Development Institute. He too put his day job on hold to support Queenslanders affected by storms.
Members from Bundaberg, Maroochydore, Nambour, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Townsville have descended on Logan and Ipswich to offer support.
SES local controller Jim Ferguson said recent weather events are a timely reminder for residents to be prepared for the storm season ahead.
"Last month Logan SES received 713 requests for assistance for incidents such as fallen branches and leaking roofs and more recently damaged roofs and smashed sky lights," he said.
"Our message is to be storm-ready and to not be complacent. One thing is certain. We will see more of this unpredictable weather in the months ahead, so we just need residents to be prepared.
"It can be as simple as cleaning out your gutters and trimming trees around the house."
The state and federal governments announced personal hardship assistance for residents in Ipswich and parts of Logan affected by Saturday's severe storms.
