I need some help

My cable comes down the pole and enters a watertight thermocouple head on a plastic pipe, 4 ft up the pole, then comes 40 ft under ground into the cellar. Then it travels 8 ft, makes a 90 and travels 3 ft to the grounding block before splitting into three legs. The wire from the ground block is a straight 18 ft run to the service entrance ground at the breaker box.
Doesn't sound like much lightning protection.

Oh well, maybe the lightning will fall off the drip loop at the thermocouple head.
