Yes. Cumulonimbus clouds frequently become thunderstorms, including severe ones whose winds are not just strong, but destructive.

How do Thunderstorms work?
A thunderstorm is often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning. They come from cumulonimbus clouds and develop in the troposphere. They result from rapid upwards movement of warm, moist air.
What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?
Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.
What are violent storms with very strong winds and a funnel shaped clouds called?
um... I think its a tornado ;)
What do the streamers of cirrus clouds show?
The streamers of cirrus clouds have strong winds that often blow streamers. The features show the direction of the wind in the upper Troposphere.
From which layer of the Sun does the solar wind originate?
Solar winds originate from the Sun's corona. These winds vary in speed and carry with them magnetic clouds and can produce storms in the Earth's magnetosphere.
What are cumulonimbus clouds composed of?
Cumulonimbus clouds are high clouds. The contain a large amount of moisture throughout and ice crystals at the top of the clouds. Strong convection currents and heavy winds are found in these clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds produce lightening and hail.
Why are cumulonimbus clouds dangerous?
These clouds are considered dangerous because of they are the clouds of thunderstorms, which can produce lightning, heavy rain, strong winds and potentially hail and tornadoes.

What weather do cumulonimbus clouds bring?
thunderstorms and other intense weather. Cumulus humilis clouds, appearing as small or medium-sized puffy shapes in the sky, often occur in times of fair weather. However, cumulus clouds can grow into cumulonimbus clouds which may produce heavy rain, lightning, severe and strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes. Cumulus congestus clouds, which appear as relatively thin towers, will often grow into cumulonimbus storm clouds. Hope this helps

Which type of cloud causes the wind to blow?
cumulonimbus clouds do because they can form up to 100 mi/hour winds inside. (they're also the most dangerous clouds)

When the earth moves do the clouds move with it?
Not always. Winds carry clouds in all different directions.
What do strong winds readily pick up and carry?
Strong winds readily pick up and carry small grains of sediment. Your welcome!
Do clouds ever move east to west?
yes if the winds are strong enough like hurricane force winds
Strong winds or in side huge clouds move ice crystals?
i thinks is snow
What is a cumulonumbus cloud?
Cumulonimbus clouds are tall, dense clouds that form thunderstorms, and can create severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, damaging winds, hail, lightning, and tornadoes. They are formed by unstable atmospheric conditions, especially along frontal boundaries and in tropical cyclones. A cumulonimbus cloud that progresses to an intense, long-lived form is known as "supercell". Groups of these storms are associated with straight-line winds, or derechos.
