As i interpret this situation we are heading to the alternate. There are a lot of options in turboprops though, i can turn 10min of holding into about 13-14 pretty easy with a power adjustment so if I was in the situation i might act a bit more patiently.

The described situation happened as an FO and my captain stared it down and made it in just fine... however we did wait around for a while on the ground for the lightning to clear. Got in fine though.
