Intro-cirrus...the most recently discovered cloud type is, of course, the rarest!
Cumulonimbus incus, which has an obvious anvil top. Only very strong ones, called supercells, spawn tornadoes.Cumulonimbus icnus is the most likely type of storm cloud to produce a tornado. These cumulonimbus clouds are often supercells.Tornadoes can form from any cumulonimbus cloud, but they usually form from Cumulonimbus incus (heaped rain cloud with anvil) with a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. The type of storm this rotating cumulonimbus cloud brings is a strong thunderstorm called a supercell, the thunderstorm most likely to form a tornadocumulonimbus clouds
Rising convectively, a cumulus cloud is the most common.
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
The most likely type of cloud that would result in hail and lightning would be the nimbous cloud.
The cumulonimbus cloud.

okay... that's a start, but where where do you live? what time did you notice the cloud?

Rain is the most likely type of precipitation to occur in the summer.

It is most likely to be sedimentary. However both Igneous and metamorphic rocks can manifest a layered structure so this feature is not diagnostic on its own.
