No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.
