Flying around cumulonimbus

During a flight on juli 19th from Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Shanghai the plane encountered a cumulonimbus cloud. The plane avoided the cloud! Lightning flash is visible. I think it was near Denmark

@CaptainArt777 Sir, I asked my Dad. He said Alto means high and is given to higher cumulus clouds while the standard cumulonimbus clouds are usually associated with the lower level type clouds.

@CaptainArt777 you believe wrong. alto is a prefix given to clouds that have bases within the 6500 - 16500 ft altitude. cumulonimbus capillatis starts way lower than that and rises up to the tropopause.
