How to use "Severe" in context?
When people hear the word "severe," they might think of a medical condition that's very severe or life-threatening. But the word has another definition, too. "Severe" can mean intense, brutal, or very harsh. In some cases, it might even be an accurate description.
For example, a severe thunderstorm is one that produces very heavy rain and powerful winds. It can be VERY hazardous to your health if you're caught in one. Similarly, a severe crime scene has been tampered with in a way that makes it dangerous or difficult to investigate.
