Yes...
Although I believe there were areas, particularly parts of Broward perhaps, which experienced cat 3 sustained winds, albeit fairly briefly, as Wilma quickly reenergized on hitting open water. IMO, we had some gusts, but no sustained winds, in that category here in the Perrine area. To the north was somewhat worse.
Andrew hit south Dade in '92 as a cat 5, according to the NHC, and did most of the damage within the first hour and a half, I believe, after which winds began to subside as the storm moved rapidly west, emerging at the mouth of the Lostmans River, which, interestingly, was also about the center of the worst part of the storm surge produced by Wilma. Sobering to think what a cat 4 or 5 could do if slow moving.
I should look for some more info on how the Yucatan was affected by Wilma.
