Basically "thyroid storm" is a transient hyper- which
is hyper- hyper- or even hyper to the third power.

If the gland has been overproducing hormones
and then something triggers it to release all
its stored production at once . . .

OR by analogy --
hyper- is like a river overflowing its banks and
flooding, it can be a little flood or a big one, it
can happen gradually or fast.

thyroid storm is when Hoover Dam bursts (!!)
