A solar flare resulting in "likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded" occurred a few days ago, but since I didn't hear about it except from space enthusiasts, I don't think it can be said to have caused widespread global disruption. It did interfere with some radio stuff, though.

Widespread global disruption should be defined better. Radio blackout, internet blackout, electrical blackout, etc.
