Yes. 2009 was a relatively mild hurricanes season, at least for the Atlantic with 9 tropical storms of which 3 became hurricanes. 2010 was very active with 19 tropical storms of which 12 became hurricanes. 2011 was also active with 19 tropical storms of which 7 became hurricanes. However, a 3 year period of analysis is not enough to draw any conclusions.
Category 3 hurricanes have sustained winds of 111-129 mph, while Category 5 hurricanes have sustained winds of 157 mph or higher. Category 5 hurricanes are considered extremely dangerous with catastrophic damage potential, while Category 3 hurricanes are considered major hurricanes with significant damage potential.
They were Alex, Bonnie, and Colin.
