With its size and some storms being the size of countries or earth itself, I imagine we would notice ourselves rushing around in its storm vortices about as much as we notice the orbit of the earth.

Jupiter has wind speeds of up to 300-400mph. You'd definitely feel it.

Oh yes, the wind speeds are very high. But they are always that fast. We don't notice speed, we only notice a change in acceleration so if we enter the storm going with the current, we'd never notice how fast we were going
