A megawatt-hour is enough to power a small/medium data center for an hour. Or to power tens of thousands of homes for an hour. A lightning bolt lasts for seconds at best, so not sure why you’d think it’d provide megawatts for a duration of an hour. That would mean the instantaneous current would need to be much higher than a terawatt, which is several orders of magnitude higher than what it is.
