Physics: How can a lightning bolt create a current in electric appliance?

How can a lightning bolt produce a current in the circuit of an electrical appliance, even when the lightning does not directly strike the appliance?


My guess was that because the bolt is essentially a charge moving very fast towards the ground, it causes a change in the magnetic field around the appliance, which induces a current in the circuit. Please help|||I would guess static?
