3-frame animation of the Serpent Storm taken in MethanoVision[MT3,MT2,CB2] of observations on July 13, 14, and 17. The Cassini scientists did an awesome job lining up the camera, I barely had to adjust the coordination to create the animation.

You can see a little darker blue vortex that approaches from the W and gets swept up and over in the N "wall" cloud. Counter-clockwise rotation of the storm also seems apparent.

Here are the still frames lined up:
