I once got hammered by hail in a Citation flying in bright sunshine in VMC. I thought we were well clear of the obvious CuNim. The hail presumably got sucked out of the top of the CuNim and then got dumped onto us. Both leading edges of the wings had to be replaced. So yes, Cunims can still be dangerous even if you are not flying in them.
