The great red spot only showed up a few hundred years ago. Jupiter has constant giant, nearly earth-sized storms, and IIRC, several of them collided into a giant superstorm nearly four times the width of Earth. It should last for a few hundred more years at the most. I remember reading somewhere that its started to get smaller recently. More @Wikipedia
