[gurps] How much Mana in a lightning strike?

[Daiv Barr]

	I just want to make sure I have this right.
	Bolt of lightning = 500 MegaJoules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
Lightning#How_it_is_formed)  = 138.5 MegaWattHour
	1megawatthour =1000 kilowatthours.
	1 Kilowatthour =10 energy (GURPS Magic 4th Ed., page 179)
	<blink>
	1,385,000 energy in a lightning strike?

	eep.
	Leave aside the issue of how does a Mage handle that much power in  
that little time.
