So, my question...is it normal for hot peppers like this to
do this? I've eaten serrano and jalapeno peppers before,
raw in salsa, but I've never run across something this
severe.

for Asian hot peppers, yes.
next time don't drink water! either drink milk (whole) or eat
a slice of bread. water spreads the burn. milk/bread will
reduce it.
