Default MFJ window feed through / lightning

I like the idea of the window feed through. In case of a lightning storm,
one could easily disconnect his antennas from the INSIDE. My question is
should one ground the feed-through plate at the window to a ground rod just
below the window?

First thought - Maybe this would help protect the house.

Second though - Maybe it would be better to let the coax float with the
tower, to avoid burning out the coax.

Third thought - With ground rods at both the tower and the entrance to the
house, could this create a noise inducing ground loop?

Is there any standard practice about this?
