My common sense tells me that I'm reacting to an overload of stress. And the IRL people around me probably are, too. The best thing I can do right now is severely limit my contact with IRL people, because things are not good.
Goddogit, you can be so profound even in a single paragraph!

Anger is good. A necessary flame that can beat-back those paranoid feelings. I think, though, that I get a sense of caution — cautiousness — in your message? Caution against real, or perceived, threats?

The fires are surely threatening, causing stress, and attacks warrant — hmm — withdrawal, maybe? Hence the limited contact?

Be safe. Just be safe; whatever you need to do, be and feel safe.
