Ed keeps a constant eye on the trees and branches above him. He has to go outside with his bus for his work as a postman today. On the way from Opmeer to Alkmaar, he drove past forty fallen ones. “I’m constantly looking up, at the branches.”
Ed was filmed by an Alkmaar man: “Poor man. This is not possible” – NH News
Along the park in the center of Alkmaar, he stands with a box in his hands, looking at the hundreds of broken branches. One destroyed the back window of the car. “I have a very dangerous profession. You see what falls from the trees. There are quite a few branches here.”
He started his route this morning, from West Friesland to Alkmaar and saw the devastation. “I also had to stop my bus for a while. I had never experienced that before.”

On Twitter, someone responds to admiration for Ed. “Respect, what a branch work.”
PostNL has announced that in ‘three provinces mail deliverers do not go on the road’. In North Holland, this would apply until 1 p.m. A spokesman for the postal company said in an explanation that postal deliverers will not go on the road by bicycle and on foot if the situation is irresponsible, because “safety comes first”.
According to the spokesperson, parcel delivery is experiencing less inconvenience from the storm because those deliverers drive buses.
