Despite some filming reportedly being moved indoors today because of rain, shooting is now underway on the set of The Avengers in Cleveland, and we have not only the first footage from the set, but also a selection of Tweets describing the action, and a few more photos. The first two videos depict extras running away in fear as the NYPD arrive on scene, while the third features some street scenes being shot.

Thanks to DCMarvelFreshman for the heads up on this one.
And thanks to the keen eyes of RIMBreaks, we have the following image of Chris Evans arriving on the set, and according to Celeb Buzz, filming his first scenes on the "New York" street. The photos below that come courtesy of numerous Cleveland residents on Twitter.
Chris Evans looked draper as he hit The Avengers set on Monday morning. Despite the rainy weather, the actor looked calm as he shot the very first scene in Cleveland, Ohio. Wearing his famous leather bomber jacket, Chris was solo on set before taking a few pointers from the director. Cleveland will be standing in as New York City as the production of the ambitious Marvel team-up action flick continues.
Squint your eyes, and you can just about see someone (Chris Evans?) with Cap's shield in the first photo.
