The destruction of Typhoon Toraji was followed soon by massive flooding in Taipei brought by Typhoon Nari. The inundation was especially severe in Sungshan District, with water reaching three feet at the Temple of Merciful Blessing. The flood left the temple deep in silt, but all the temple's volunteers had also seen flooding at home. With no tap water or electricity, they were unable to help out at the temple.
桃芝颱風過後不久，台北發生納莉水災，松山區淹大水，慈祐宮水漲三尺高，廟中污泥遍地，偏偏所有義工家裡都淹水，沒水沒電沒辦法來幫忙。
