They have these things here called closed shelter parking garages and they work amazingly well to keep cars safe.

I am sure it happens in hurricanes but certainly not a frequent occurrence in this state. Most of us are smart enough to protect the car and get the hell outta here when a hurricane comes. But maybe I'm just lucky.

You can go with low dust ceramic pads but that will affect brake performance a little but still plenty for daily use. Just feels a bit weird to put low dust pads in a GT3 but nobody will really know and from my experience the difference is small. For track days you want different pads and brake fluid anyway.
