Well it depends on what you are talking about. In general no. In windspeeds no. In the atlantic hurricane Camille had windspeeds of 190 recorded. There were faster windsbut were too high to record. Hurricane Camille is also the only hurricane to land with that intensity. In pressure no. In the atlantic Hurricane Wilma was the most intense with a pressure of 882 Mbars. In the world Typhoon Tip has the lowest pressure of 870 Mbars. Luckily it did not make landfall with that intensity. Death wise the 1900 Galveston Hurricane had the most in the atlantic. The estimates go from 8000 to 12000 deaths. Damage wise Katrina did more damage than any other it did 108 billion dollars in damage due to a levee breach not the storm. Now this is where your boy Ike comes into play. Ike was the second costliest storm ever. Now so i dont get crap. If it is adjusted for inflation it is the third costliest ever. It is then passed by andrew. But by FEMA's standards it is the second costliest. In the atlantic. Ike is also the largest atlantic basin storm ever. At one point it was over 660 miles in diameter. In the world record Typhoon tip is the largest. Now by storm surge katrina has the highest in the atlantic. Up to a 35 foot surge. Ike had a high surge. In galveston it was just enough to top the seawall it 18 feet a foot above it. But the waves at a 30 foot hight deveastated galveston. Bolivar Penensula had the highest surge in the storm at 28 feet. Ike was a devastating storm. But not the worst in most standards. But ike did earn a higher destructive potential rating than any other atlantic storm with a destructive potential of 5.6. With 6 as the highest. Ike was a very devastating storm.

Was hurricane Ike the largest hurricane ever?

No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.
