Female trapdoor spider.
This is a female trapdoor spider, probably in the genus Ummidia. I wonder if maybe heavy rain flooded her burrow? Hope everyone is OK after those twisters.

Thanks. My family is fine....not so sure about the little critters. I figured it was rain also because we had flash flood warnings to go with it. It's just typical springtime in Oklahoma.
