Hazards
Lightning; these clouds produce lightning.
Wind; these clouds may produce strong winds especially during a downburst
Hail; these clouds can sometimes produce hail
More severe storms; The Cumulonimbus Calvus can further grow larger if the updraft is strong. it can form into a cumulonimbus incus, and bring more severe storms.
Cumulonimbus calvus is a moderately tall cumulonimbus cloud which is capable of precipitation, but has not yet reached the tropopause, which is the height of stratospheric stability where it forms into a Cumulonimbus Capillatus (fibrous-top) or cumulonimbus incus (anvil-top). Cumulonimbus calvus clouds develop from cumulus congestus, and its further development under auspicious conditions will result in cumulonimbus incus.
This cloud consists mainly of water droplets. By definition of cumulonimbus cloud, at its top water droplets are transformed into ice crystals, but for cumulonimbus calvus content of ice crystals is small and freezing is in early stage, so cloud top still looks round and puffy.
Cumulonimbus calvus is characterized by distinctive (between other types of cumulonimbus cloud) rounded shape and relatively sharp edges of its top area, unlike cumulonimbus incus or cumulonimbus capillatus, which have cirriform tops. Developing cumulonimbus calvus loses sharp outlines of the top as more water droplets transform into ice crystals. Strong updrafts may form pileus or thin vertical stripes protruding upwards out of the cloud. When upper part of the cloud freezes to greater extent and clearly visible cirriforms appears, cumulonimbus calvus turns into another species of cumulonimbus.
Cumulonimbus calvus arcus is a sub-type of cumulonimbus calvus, which has arcus cloud ahead of cloud's front.
Species
cumulonimbus calvus: cloud with puffy top, similar to cumulus congestus which it develops from; under the correct conditions in can become a cumulonimbus capillatus.
cumulonimbus capillatus : cloud with cirrus-like, fibrous-edged top.

Description: Here’s another photo from that crazy cloud day that we had a few weeks ago... it’s not quite as interesting as some of the other images that I took that day, but then I do have a soft spot for an oak tree... particularly a lonely one!

Sunsets Lake Chapala Mexico. This was an unexpected sunset. I had just ridden my bike to the small park to take a break and this started happening.

While you were sleeping. We often get these huge clouds over Punto Cerritos. They really tend to dwarf the huge places like the RIU and other huge constructions.

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps. Sharon Draper
Standing on the bed of Napa Hai (Napa Lake), 3270 meters above sea level and covers 660 square kilometers; it is approximately 8 kilometers northwest of Zhongdian town in Yunnan Province.
It's a lake only July - September when the snow of the surrounding mountains melts and water runs into this valley (I guess this is Napa Valley hehe) and forms a lake.
Golden Afterglow Mazatlan Mexico. After the sudden strong storm passed, this amazing golden glow enveloped us. It is hard to describe and even the photos don't do it justice. Everything was just golden.

This is a bit of a different view of a sunset. I used 400mm lens and then cropped in real close to show just the portion where the clouds with the sun behind them meet the water.
