Question

Picture yourself hiking in a narrow canyon in Utah. The canyon is dry and it hasn't rained for weeks. You see some thunderhead clouds in the sky, but not one drop of rain all day.

Nevertheless, a small rush of water starts to run through the canyon, turning it into a creek. There must have been a heavy rainfall somewhere nearby. Water runs down the sides of the canyon, forming little waterfalls. You realize that there could be a flash flood coming! You turn quickly up a side trail to higher ground before you are washed down the canyon.

What are the stimulus and response in this scenario?
