Ida was indeed unique, but too bad Scientific American had to throw in so much climate alarmism. Even though Ida rapidly intensified from Cat 1 to Cat 4, Hurricane Patricia (in the eastern Pacific) in 2015 intensified from a smaller Tropical Storm to a bigger Cat 5 in 24 hours. There were surely more rapidly intensifying storms that we don't know about due to a serious lack of ocean buoys and limited reconnaissance aircraft and flight range. And that "climate alarmism" game can be played both ways, with this headline ... "Hurricane Ida succumbs to climate change as it failed to reach Cat 5."

It does not much research to see what happened. Most of the bad storms come through the Gulf of Mexico(hot water and low wind shear) and head to the gulf states. Great examples are Camille and Katrina. Irma almost took same path but dissapated while going up Florida's spine.
