No, the 1908 hurricane in Galveston Texas killed over 8000 people.
It was just the worst one in terms of property loss and ineffectiveness of response.

The poor hurricane surge flooding in New Jersey and ny brought about via Sandy became into very almost completely anticipated properly in improve, yet became into greater intense than the common guy or woman could assume from a minimum hurricane. That’s the place Sandy’s prevalent length comes into play. there's a metric that quantifies the potential of a hurricane in keeping with how a ways out tropical-hurricane stress winds enhance from the midsection, conventional as integrated Kinetic potential or IKE*. In modern-day information, Sandy’s IKE ranks 2d between all hurricanes at landfall, greater than devastating storms like hurricane Katrina, Andrew and Hugo, and 2d basically to hurricane Isabel in 2003.

If i remember correctly, it was the third worst ever or something like that. But in our lifetimes, it was the worst ever, right up there on top of Hurricane Andrew, remember that one? Every so many years natural disasters happen, like the tsunami. Maybe this winter the east coast will be buried in snow?!? Hope not, I live in Maine...
