Not on the actual gage record, I don't think. The format has a place for the highest values ever recorded--look here (the 2007 published record for this gage) at the heading "Extremes for period of record":

I note that this gage has only been around since 2003, which probably is also because it's tidal, and without those velocity gages tidal gages were of limited use.

Before the "published records" went to a Web product, there was a book for each State and it had introductory material that would discuss things like droughts and floods that affected the State. This is the national summary that's the equivalent, but it doesn't look like they plan to include things like individual flood events:

And yeah, we still hope for a nice gently hurricane to move slowly across the southeast, raining steadily as it goes. Atlanta's major reservoir got a 2-ft. boost from Fay, but we need a lot more than that.
