At peak intensity Hurricane Andrew had a central pressure of 922 mb.
It is low, but the exact pressure varies, generally the lower the pressure, the stronger the hurricane. Most have pressures less than 995 millibars. On rare occasions the pressure in the very strongest of hurricanes can drop below 900 millibars.
The most intense hurricane on record is Hurricane Wilma, which occurred in 2005. It had peak winds of 185 mph and a central pressure of 882 mb, making it the strongest Atlantic hurricane in terms of pressure. Wilma caused significant damage and loss of life in the Caribbean and the United States.
