Terre Haute is a Wabash River city in western Indiana with tornado exposure and a significant industrial sector including pharmaceutical manufacturing and chemical production. The federal penitentiary complex here is one of the most active federal death row facilities in the US. Tornado risk peaks during spring storm season, and the industrial chemical corridor along the Wabash River creates secondary hazmat exposure.
