Storms wind down. As does everything else (except God, who is not subject to entropy).
Incidentally, did anyone every figure out why the spot is red?

It’s all the Damn Jupiterian Made Climate Disruption I tell ya! They have been burning fossil fuels for decades with little concern about the damage to Mother Jupiter’s natural climate.
Probably the White Devil Jupiterians. They are the worst of them!
