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.
