Leave the tower cranked down during storms...ground the coax at the top 
and botton sections.

When it's cranked down use a jumper from the ground grid to the top 
section of tower.  

At the house use a bulkhead  connection with polyphaser or alphadelta 
lightning arresting units.  Use a similar device for the rotor cable.  

There are other tips located at the polyphaser web site...

good luck,
