By several measures, it was one of the worst. Directly killing 11,000 people does put it up there pretty high, though the damage totals weren't nearly as much as some others (Katrina and Andrew for example) because there isn't as much to damage in the impoverished regions where it struck. It is also one of the most powerful hurricanes to strike land in recorded history, with peak sustained winds of 180mph (WELL in the category 5 range). But "Worst" is subjective, and there are different ways of defining that particular superlative.
