It depends, as "worst" is a subjective term. In terms of monetary loss it was the single costliest hurricane in U.S. history with $108 billion in damage. With adjustment for inflation that works out to $128 billion in 2012 dollars. This far outstrips Hurricane Sandy, which ranks second at $65-75 billion. It is among the five deadliest U.S. hurricanes but it does not take second place in that regard.

What year did the Patriots experience their worst season in franchise history record?

While the Patriots have had a few stinkers in their history, 1990 stands as the worst single season the Patriots have ever had. The 1990 Patriots went a league worst 1-15, a .063 winning percentage. Statistically the 1990 Patriots had the worst offense in the league and the 2nd worst defense in the league. The 1990 Patriots were led by new head Coach Rod Rust. Needless to say, Rust was replaced after the 1-15 campaign.
