In case you haven’t heard, it’s raining in Los Angeles.

As steady showers slowed the morning commute and caused major backups on many area freeways, some Angelenos took a break from searching for their rain boots and umbrellas to tweet about the weather.

Dozens of people snapped pictures of the rain-slicked city, some of which are included below.
