No, it was 165mph at landfall. (officially 145 knots at landfall, which is about 166.75 mph)

You can read more about why they changed it here:

I didn't realize that there was some disagreement about that. I either forgot or never looked into why they upgraded Andrew. I guess in reality we really don't know how strong it was, they made an educated guess.
