Cat 5 Storms by Years, 5 years, and Decades

There are talks about the storms getting stronger. I decided to do
some research about category 5 storms in northern hemisphere since
1950. It is hard to get reliable data before 1950. Also, it is almost
impossible to get data for southern hemisphere before 1990. In
Northeastern Pacific, the data was not kept very well until 1970's.

For sake of discussion, these numbers are northern hemisphere and cat 5
storms only.
