Preparing for Isabel?
Bonker asks: "Hurricane Isabel has been categorized as a Class 4 hurricane by the the National Hurricane Center. It's expected to grind somewhere into the U.S. East Coast sometime this evening. The Carolinas, Virginias, and even Maryland are in states of high tension. If you live in an area threatened by Isabel, what are you doing to protect your own or your company's data and computer hardware from Isabel?"
Somehow I kind of doubt that west virginia is really all that concerned.
RUN AWAY!!!!!!
Protect yourself! Dead sysadmins can't fix anything.

1. You should already have your tech disaster plan in place and everyone drilled.
2. If the local authorities advise you to evacuate, do so immediately. If your boss says you have to stay, resign.
3. Before you evacuate, secure anything around your home or business that could fly around - chairs, toys, swings, signs,etc. Also, board your windows if possible.
4. If you get stuck in the hurricane, or once you get to the evacuation location, mix up a blenderful of Pat O'Brien's Hurricanes.
1 oz White rum
1 oz Jamaican Rum
1 oz Bacardi 151 proof rum
3 oz Orange juice with pulp
3 oz unsweetened Pineapple juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
Crushed Ice
Combine all ingredients, mix well (shake or stir). Pour over crushed ice in Hurricane glass. Best enjoyed through small straw. Garnish with fruit wedge if desired. Serves 1.
Make a lot of that - you can do the math to fill a pitcherful. By the time the storm hits, you'll all be three-sheets-to-the-wind and it will be the most exciting and fun weekend you've ever had. At least, that's how we do it down here.

Cat 3 is fine for phone lines. But for networking you really should use Cat 5 (or Cat 6).
