Heavy rain causes Buddhist monastery to flood

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. — Heavy rain caused a Buddhist monastery to flood in Brunswick County Monday afternoon.

The Wat Carolina Buddhajakra Vanaram posted several videos and photos of their flooded temple.

According to a GoFundMe associated with the organization, the monks are now stuck in a small house and are trying to move into a bigger temple.

Money donated will go towards food, toiletries, dry goods, many cleaning supplies, clothing, sandals, a used refrigerator, a used freezer, a washer and dryer, construction equipment and tools, bedding, and blankets.
