Thanks for the information. That's exactly what I suspected could happen. Lightning has "a mind of its own." It will strike wherever it wants to. And no matter how big the wiring is, even if it hits the rods, it won't necessarily be able to handle the high voltage which can go up as high as 100 million volts.
