Use the best ground clamp or connector you can get, preferably one made for your system. Not worth the risk there of it hopping onto the barn. And as for what it can travel through - I trust nothing. Been through it way too many times. One of the more recent was a direct strike on a tree and the little 16 ga wire from the dog fence was laying at the base of the tree (easier to track the wire in the woods when you know it"s by a tree). It hopped onto that little wire and followed it 500+ft into the garage, blowing the unit off the wall and across the garage. Nope... didn"t have the unit connected to a ground rod, but still, there"s no good reason that little wire should have carried all that and that far, but it did. Burnt the first few feet of the wire by the tree, the rest is still working today. Didn"t stop at the wall unit either... went through a couple GFI"s in the garage and on into the house finally finishing out at the tv (yes... the ground rod might have prevented the extra damage). So, the sooner you can get it to ground and the best path you can give it, the better. But it is lightning and it is unpredictable.
