Brisbane's massive storm clean-up continues
Residents around the South East are continuing to clean up two days after a violent storm struck the Brisbane area.
Almost 800 customers are still without power, with Toowong and St Lucia being the worst affected areas.
Some storm victims are still coming to terms with the loss of their property and upheaval in their lives with many also having to break leases and find new homes.

Free green waste disposal at Brisbane City Council's transfer station continues today and tomorrow.
Council has also hired private contractors to help and crews will be working around the clock to clear vegetation.
Food waste bins have been placed at 10 suburbs as many people still don't have power.
A kerbside clean-up of storm affected items, debris and waste across about 50 impacted suburbs is also set to begin on Monday.

7News meteorologist Tony Auden says Thursday's storm was so intense because of three main ingredients.
They included high temperatures and humidity, cold air in the upper atmosphere and a trough moving through the area during the afternoon.
