If you assume that it takes a while to build up for a sudden discharge, that doesn't sound like that much to me.

Also we don't know how much atmosphere-volume per second is needed for 1 "normal" lightning strike. (Assuming some sort of volume-based cause.)
In contrast, the amount of air passing through the blades of a turbine per second is probably much easier to calculate, and I'd wager less.
