I must say your question made me laugh so much lol
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a will, and can speak. He is alive. He is not particularly visible in the Bible because His ministry is to bear witness of Jesus (John 15:26).
Some say that the Holy Spirit is nothing more than a force This is false. If the Holy Spirit were merely a force, then He could not speak (Acts 13:2); He could not be grieved (Eph. 4:30); and He would not have a will (1 Cor. 12:11).
The truth is that the Holy Spirit is the same as the Father and the Son are within the Trinity.
Very nice words of Jesus to read in:
Joh. 14,16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

You would think that if that Holy Spirit power could split open the red sea to save the jews it could save some people from a burning building, or at least keep the traffic light green until I pass under it. But, alas! It never happens anywhere other than the bible.

Christians don't have any "Holy Spirit power" for saving people out of burning buildings. You should read the Bible before you come up with such ideas. The power of the Holy Spirit cleanses us from sin, not makes us leap over buildings is a single bounce. You are thinking of superman, not christians, and btw superman is not real either.

It is not the Holy Spirit's purpose to give us power to save people from burning buildings. The Holy Spirit guides us in all truth.
With this truth we have the power to share the Gospel with people. The Gospel, when accepted, has the power to save people from an eternity separated from God, if they so choose. Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the Holy Spirit gives me the power to make such a proclamation.

Don't be silly. The holy spirit is a helper not a power giver. The greek word for Holy Spirit means to come alongside.

Yes, back when I was a cheerleader. I got together with a whole bunch of other "Holy Power" people to save the world. I sold my story to Sci-Fi. Have you seen it?

There was a black minister in L.A. He was put in a jail cell with black
gang members after a protest.
One of the gang members walked up to him and said, "Save ME preacher!"
The scared minister put his hands on the BOYEE to hold him back. And the Holy Spirit shook that gang member to his knees!
Today he is helping brothers get out of gang life.

Actually yes. After praying I pushed a lady's car out of a ditch, in the snow & ice, by myself...I think she had a Ford Taurus. It was very easy.
Also, in Slidell, LA. a group of us spent 3 days doing hurricane relief & for those 3 days sanded for 8-10 hours straight (sanded drywall)...our delts never got tired and believe me we were NOT in shape to sand like that.
Gotta remember that God is not always about fireworks shows...there are a lot of examples in the Bible of the Spirit giving people abilities to help others.
Go ahead and laugh...but I'm just sharing my story.

i'd pay per view to see that!
actually, I think Mel Gibson has. Oh wait, no. He used his financial power to create one of the bloodiest movies in history and convinced millions of holy christians to watch it. Oh, there's that sheep mentality creeping up again.
meanwhile, there are starving children and AIDS ruining Africa, but Mel made millions off of one movie. hm.
