Actually it might be more useful than Nora's when it comes to weather. Lightning generally strikes once and only during a storm, but wind is in most weathers and in most places and tends to be continuous, enough for a fight. Actually, Nora's semblance was stated to allow her to generate and store electricity, not just lightning. That being said, it's still far more useful than the other guy's thing, because she can (and should) just carry a crap-ton of electric dust with her everywhere she goes. Why doesn't she do this? Because RWBY has some...questionable writing choices.

This guy's semblance, on the other hand, is not only directly tied to the weather being windy, but the speed of the wind as well. Actually she did upgrade Magnhilde with an electricity thing; we first saw it when they were fighting the Geist in Volume 4.
