HA for Nimbus is planned, and there has already been some work in that area:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-166

Nimbus is not a true SPOF in that if it goes down, you’re topologies will 
continue to function and process data. With Nimbus down what you lose is the 
ability to submit/manage topologies and reassign tasks.

Without STORM-166, you would have to manually intervene if your nimbus host 
exploded. If it is a big concern you may want a standby machine and something 
in your ops pocket to quickly change DNS for your nimbus host.
