Here is a demonstrative game to show how you should deal with a 'queen raid'.
1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 Nf6 5. Qb3 Nd4 6. Bxf7+ Ke7 7. Qc4 b5 8. Qc3 Kxf7 9. h3 Bb4 10. Qg3

Only attack if your own position is consolidated. Then, you can be aggressive or simply apply pressure on your opponent's position. However, if your opponent cannot counter-attack in a position, go on and attack.

With rook on g1, 13. gxh5 gives it a direct open file against the king.

g5 allowed 13... Bg4, necessitating 14. Rxg4, an exchange sacrifice for the attack to continue.
Again, wrong. 13... Bg5 14 Rxg4 hxg4 ...
