Are there verifiable written reports of Christians praying to God about recent events and receiving supernatural knowledge?

This is not about anecdotal claims, but written, published claims that offer a way of substantiating at least some of it. In other words, this isn't about claims to know something about a person that could be supernatural knowledge about that person, but knowledge given about a real event that the person could not possibly have known naturally. And did the published report provide some factual evidence to back up the claim of the supernatural knowledge received?
For example, I've read a book about some Christians getting forewarning of the slag-heap slide at Aberfan in Wales in 1966 that killed 147 people, most of them children in the primary school at the base of the hill. They received this premonitionary knowledge in time to warn the Coal Board, who ignored their warnings. Unless written documents can be produced showing the Coal Board did, indeed record such advance warnings, it's not verifiable.
I ask this of Christians who believe God sometimes still answers prayers for understanding about events. Although examples could come from within any Christian denomination whatsoever, I seek answers from Christians who are open to special words of knowledge still being given by God in modern times. Anything in the last 100 years would be of interest (no further back, please).
