Compassion Fatigue

I am watching The Weather Channel http://www.weather.com/ coverage of the Oklahoma tornado outbreak.  It is horrible  Tonight, though, I am wondering about the broadcaster, Jim Cantore.  He has been to so many disasters in the last few years, and I wonder what kind of toll this takes on him.  He must be suffering compasson fatigue to some extent.

I am not being critical of him. I am just wondering how much he can take.  I hope he takes care of himself, and that The Weather Channel helps him with debriefing and counseling if he needs it.
