[@supriyabarsode8039]

The river raging just below the rafters was scary as was watching the belongings just getting swept away and hearing their cries.Sorry about your kayaks glad no one was hurt.

[@lorrilewis2178]

What a bunch of troopers the people of Positano are! If tourists could only see what you do to keep the place going!

[@minnarellahan8184]

Oh how terrible, what a clean up job you are going to have :(. But seems to me that people in Positano are very resilient and you'll get it done!!!

[@tamiweingartner5029]

Oh my goodness!!!! This year you’ve been through it all....fires, earthquakes and now floods 😩. Stay safe!

[@NickiPositano]

Tami Weingartner hi Tami, I know, it's been a crazy year.

[@pockethole1900]

Hope you're all recovering. Good vibes and prayers coming from Florida.

[@ldmig]

I'm so sorry to see this happen! So much work ahead for everyone living and working in Positano! Thank you so much for keeping us informed but please...safety first! You mentioned a facebook page but I cannot locate it. Might you send me a link? Thank you, Nikki!

Pasta Lucana I think the worst is over, they have freed the blockage in the river. The Facebook page is Positano Daily Photo.

What a shame, Mother Nature is a powerful force and hard to battle. More so, the rain.

[@sharronjones5653]

Thank you for your blog and all of the info you give us. These poor people must be in shock and just doing what ever they can. It is horrible. Breaks my heart . What a hard year for the whole area. I repost you on my f/b..I am there every two years for many years. God be with you, Sher

[@sandicarpenter2658]

Gosh Nicki, what an absolute horror!!!! Sandi x

[@heatherbrewington5362]

That is so sad. I pray nobody got hurt.

[@christinemercado8706]

Wow! This is so sad to see. I'm glad no one got hurt.

[@emilcaruso3088]

our family was just there on Holiday on June, what a mess, hope everyone is safe!

[@jmb1666]

Are there landslides there? I worry about all those buildings on the side of the mountain.

[@listay1]

That's a big concern, so there have been large metal nets and fences installed along the hill side to stop landslides and especially the rocks from falling.

[@annettes7460]

How dreadful! Does it often flood like this? Sorry about your kayaks!

[@karentozer1871]

Looks horrendous!

[@pattiwhite9575]

That was terrifying

[@solsouth]

It does seem like you have many natural disasters in that area, rough seas, flooding from loads od rain, hail, snow, and earthquakes.

[@NickiPositano]

Yes it is true we do not miss out on anything here!

[@watcher223]

So much work to clean up!

[@johnmc64]

Poor Positano ... 😕

[@monica-NJ-123]

O dear, this is very sad, hope no one got hurt

[@NickiPositano]

nobody was hurt!

[@menabattista9380]

There is a (usually almost dry) UNUSUALLY DRY RIVER I HOPE. :)

[@NickiPositano]

'Usually almost dry' meaning that during most of the year there is just a trickle of water and in the summer hardly any water at all.

[@quidest5]

Fire on summer, water on autumn, what's next? :(

[@naomicoward4687]

So sad

[@travelandvino2738]

OMG, that is terrible!

[@cortomatese6110]

And next week...? Here coming a surprise; Attila! ! There be a cold shoulder for crying.

[@suginami123]

Awful. Gosh.

[@brandonbert8859]

Awful to see. Please learn how to hold your video camera when shooting a video

[@NickiPositano]

Brandon Bert as the title explains this is only an upload from Instagram, filmed on a phone. If you had bothered to watch any of my other videos you would see that they are not so bad. This was a sudden situation and I did not have my usual camera with me.

[@brandonbert8859]

I totally appreciate your content and the terrible situation you are all dealing with. Just wanted to point out that you can turn your phone sideways to fill the screen for an even better viewing experience.

[@ldmig]

Really? Criticism under the horrific circumstances under which Nikki had to film? I enjoy her videos more than any fancy schmancy ones I've evr seen. It's real! Like a neorealist film!

[@oliviagibbons648]

as she stated before, these clips are from Instagram/Instagram stories. Who in their right mind films an instagram story sideways?

[@alisonalexandratou8723]

@@brandonbert8859 Why so critical Brandon Bert???? This was a one off emergency filming of an upsetting devastation!!! Get real!!😠
