Watch: Hone's rainfall transforms Hawaii's Rainbow Falls
Before Hurricane Hone dropped more than a foot of rain across parts of Hawaii, Rainbow Falls was a beautiful waterfall that many enjoyed the short hike to see. Less than 24 hours later, the same waterfall was transformed into a raging wall of water.
The difference 24 hours can make was clear in before-and-after video and photos shot by FOX Weather watchers and FOX Weather crews on the ground in Hawaii on Sunday.
