The trademark of a strong cumulonimbus cloud is the overshooting top, a "cauliflower-like" cloud structure extending above the anvil of the storm like a dome. Overshooting tops develop on thunderstorms that have powerful updrafts and they typically develop on Cumulonimbus capillatus incus, as spotted here near Sherman, Illinois, US.
