No. Not even close. In terms of damage Hurricane Katrina was the worst at a cost of $105 billion (worth $125 billion today). Katrina killed over 1,800 people. In terms of death toll the worst Atlantic hurricane by death toll was the Great Hurricane of 1780 which killed more than 20,000 people. The deadliest U.S. hurricane was the Great Galveston hurricane of 1900 with 6,000 to 12,000 deaths.
The deadliest tropical cyclone (the generic term for hurricane) on record was the Bhola Cyclone of 1970 which struck parts of India and Bangladesh killing at least 300,000 people.
