What separates a “tornado” from a “violent tornado”?
It's a meteorological term that distinguishes weaker tornadoes from more powerful ones. We do the same thing for hurricanes. Typically a hurricane is considered "violent" after it reaches Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tornadoes are similarly considered "violent" once they reach EF4 status. Though there are those who lump EF3 tornadoes under that moniker as well.
