No. Hurricane Sandy did not have a particularly significant impact in Florida. Most of Sandy's impact was in New York and New Jersey. The worst hurricane to hit Florida was probably the Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928.

At least 1,836 people died during Hurricane Katrina, making it one of the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. But there have been debates about the number of people that died because it is possible that not all people who died were found.
