I wonder if this storm surge could be related to the huge CME that missed Earth by a week two years ago. Any opinions about this?

“Uranus Sees A Storm Surge Of ‘Monstrous’ Proportions”

In a movie adaption; Bruce Willis will be aboard a spacecraft filled with Beano in an attempt to try to save the day.

I’m guessing the storm is a result of internal heat rather than anything coming from the sun.

The outer planets are far more active with higher wind speeds than science predicted till we got a look.

[which] took astronomers by surprise because the planet is well past the equinox in 2007, when the sun was highest above the equator

And since Uranus typically sits well south of the equator where the Sun don't shine ....

Paging Deb Feyerick...I'm sure she'll say it has something to do with global warming.
