Antennas and Lightning

Hello!

I'm mounting my first J-pole (ok, first antenna ever) on my roof, and a friend asked me about lightning safety. Should I be concerned? My house is surrounded by many tall trees, which I would think would provide a better path to ground than the antenna, but I could be wrong. Any advice?

Thank you!
