No. Hurricane Sandy killed 148 people directly and 138 through indirect effects. This is relatively high by some standards, but a fair number of other hurricanes have had death tolls in the thousands. Sandy, however, was one of the costliest hurricanes in record in terms of property damage, second only to Hurricane Katrina.
