By one measure, yes. At peak intensity Hurricane Wilma had the lowest pressure at it center of any recorded hurricane in the Atlantic: 882 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. For comparison, normal sea level pressure is 1013 millibars. The previous record-holder, Hurricane Gilbert, had a central pressure of 888 millibars.

No. Wilma was the most intense Atlantic hurricane in terms of barometric pressure and was very one of the most destructive. But other hurricanes have been both deadlier and more destructive than Wilma.

Not really, although it had the lowest pressure ever recorded, it did not have the strongest winds nor was it the deadliest or most destructive.

Hurricane Camille had the strongest winds.

Hurricane was the most destructive hurricane in American history (in terms of dollar value).

The Galveston hurricane on 1900 was the deadliest hurricane in American history.

However, far deadlier hurricanes (known as typhoons there) have struck Bangladesh.
