If you search for "no gauge-based evidence"(including the quotation marks), you will find several references to that original quote.

However, no gauge-based evidence had been found for a climate-driven, widespread change in the magnitude/frequency of floods during the last decades. There are strong regional and sub-regional variations in the trends. Moreover, it has not been generally possible to attribute rain-generated peak streamflow trends to anthropogenic climate change.

A team of 17 scientists analyzed precipitation and flood data on six continents during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The scientists noted financial losses from floods have increased during recent years, primarily from more homes and businesses being built in flood-prone areas. The scientists also found changes in infrastructure and land use are exacerbating potential flooding events. Nevertheless, the scientists reported, “It has not been possible to attribute rain-generated peak streamflow trends to anthropogenic climate change over the past several decades.”
Importantly, real-world evidence does not support climate models predicting more flooding, the scientists noted.
