My new home sits atop a ridge and is pretty much the highest point around. There are some nearby trees (60-100 feet) that are as high as, or a bit higher than our roofline, which is about 30 feet up. The electrical service is well grounded with both an 8 foot copper rod and to the copper water line, which comes in under the foundation.

Even so, should I be concerned about lightning? If so, how would I go about adding a lightning rod to better protect the house?

thanks.
