(WEST LAFAYETTE) - A new Purdue study finds living “on the edge” means you have a greater risk of getting hit by a tornado.
The study concludes that areas where the landscape shifts from urban to rural or forest to farmland experience more severe weather or tornado touchdowns.
The study examines more than 60 years of Indiana tornado climatology data. It shows that from 1959 to 2012, many tornadoes touched down in close proximity to cities and forests.
