Yes. I know someone whose computer blew its processor from a nearby lightning strike. Modern chips are so small, and run on such minute amounts of electricity that the static on your skin would blow them if you touched them with your bare hand. Lightning flashes have electric fields reducing from megavolts to nothing over a few tens of feet surrounding them, and although a strike next to your house might not hurt you, unless you were standing on a wet floor in bare feet, a difference of hundreds of volts between one side of your computer and the other could easily fry its chips.
