Antenna vs. Lightning question

Hi,
I live in Philadelphia, and I have plenty local stations that I can pick up by stringing a few feet of wire across the room even with the most insensitive of my sets. But I'd like to hook at least one of them up to a decent outdoor longwire just for the fun of it.

I have plenty of space, but I also have plenty of lightning. I'm on top of a hill, and over the 30+ years I've lived here I've probably lost a dozen modems, a couple tv's, my garage door opener, and a stair lift controller to the emp from various lightning strikes in my backyard.

So, what is current best practice for lightning protection with a big ol' outdoor antenna?
Paul
