violent
/ˈvaɪ(ə)lənt/
While often used to describe physical fighting, "violent" can also describe things that are not human, such as weather or emotions. When describing a person's behavior, it usually implies an intention to harm. When using the word to describe intensity (like a "violent storm"), it focuses on the power and suddenness of the event rather than a desire to cause pain.
