I believe it was Hurricane Wilma that was the strongest ever… It was a category 5 with winds up to 175 mps… Hurricane Katrina caused the most damage and was the most costly but only ranks #6 on the strongest hurricane ever! Hope your doing well Sarah!

Well, Hurricane Wilma in 2005 was the strongest hurricane in Atlantic recorded history. It was a Category 5 with a pressure of 882 mbar. (The lower the number, the stronger the hurricane is.) However, when it made landfall in the United States, it was a Category 3.
