Coffee and typhoon

Our administration in Astronomical Institute takes care about us, I just got the message:
-------------
Dear Colleagues:
New typhoon Matsa is approaching.
Please make sure locking your windows before leaving the office.
Take good care of yourself.
Best,
Eugenia

Well, what else I could do but sip my (almost) turkish coffee - impossible to buy hotplate here, so I have to be satisfied with pouring the coffee with hot water only-but it is probably more healthy that way, I console myself...

ps. but I just tried my induction heater, which I bought and thought it is faulty - but it simply can not work if the (iron!)pot is not at least 12cm in diameter, and my coffee pot is smaller. Svjetlana, with her experience on baseline Teslic-Dublin-Tokyo confirmed my (forgotten)thought that with an iron plate on it, it could act as a proper hot plate... I just tried and my next coffee will already be real turkish one! Merhaba!
pps. a day later: not so easy: I bought a pan to try this way for coffee, but dry pan gives too much of a bad smell, really some pure iron plate would be needed, but where to hell to find one! So, still not completely turkish coffee (but already a bit better) :-(. Not so easy in these Lands of East to go our way...
Here one yesterday impression from my window, this is around noon, it was the same picture whole day!
