While rare, it is possible for a tornado to form within a hurricane. These tornadoes, known as "tornadoes embedded in hurricanes," can be particularly dangerous due to the already intense weather conditions from the hurricane.
Yes, Hurricane Wilma was a strong Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. It set the record for the lowest central pressure in an Atlantic hurricane, with 882 millibars, and was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane Wilma, which formed in 2005, is the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic basin in terms of barometric pressure. It reached maximum sustained winds of around 185 mph (295 km/h), making it a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Hurricane Andrew had peaks sustained winds of 175 miles per hour, which had weakened to 165 miles per hour by the time of landfall in Florida.
The lowest pressure ever recorded in a storm to be labeled a hurricane was 882 mb (millibars) in Hurricane Wilma in 2005. However, Typhoon Tip (a typhoon is really just a hurricane in the western Pacific) had a recorded pressure of 870 mb.

Yes. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most intense hurricanes ever recorded.
Rita was the fourth most intense hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone ever in the Gulf of Mexico. Katrina was the seventh most intense hurricane ever recorded. So, strictly in weather terms, Rita was a worse storm. However, Katrina was the costliest natural disaster and one of the five deadliest hurricanes of all time.
Yes, Hurricane Wilma was a strong Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. It set the record for the lowest central pressure in an Atlantic hurricane, with 882 millibars, and was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.
By some estimates it is the largest recorded Atlantic hurricane with a gale diameter of nearly 950 miles.
All weather events including hurricanes have been a natural part of our atmospheric processes since the planet formed. We can not say therefore where the first ever hurricane was located and if we could the answer would be meaningless as plate tectonics, continental drift and geological process would have moved or indeed destroyed the location over geological time.
No, but Hurricane Sandy hit Brooklyn, New York.

The barometric pressure of the air at the center, or eye, of the hurricane. Some of the lowest barometric pressures ever recorded have occured in the eyes of hurricanes. The lowest barometric pressure ever recorded on earth was recorded at the center of the "Labor Day Hurricane" of 1935 which struck the Florida Keys.
No there has not been a hurricane by the name of drew
