Looking at YPP (Pitchstone Plataea) Which is the closest YS sensor, and then checking the Teaton sensors there is no signal matching the one at FLWY.
Going back over the past few days of FLWY, some of it bears a striking resemblance to to WMR (Madison River). Which is the sensor that picks up the construction in YS the most. (if you look back a few months on YMR you will see what I mean.)
IF construction is going on within 100' of the sensor it'd get washed out big time wise by the heavy machinery. I would suggest looking at GPS elevation data to see if the signals are getting bollixed there too on that sensor.
That and sending a email to check.

So that look like wind noise to you, aside from the obvious events? I remember a while back when we were looking at some others where the wind could get pretty brutal and saturate the webicorders. But checking wind stats for today, it did not seem excessive either- or at least enough to cause what we are seeing on the FLWY readout which is at 100 microns.

Yeah maybe an email is in order...

So I've checked the data in detail and it appears that the seismometer has moments of malfunctioning. The data showed in the screenshot in the opening post is 100% noise.
Telemetry noise (like the above from YPP - Pitchstone Plateau, WY) can be caused by the buildup of ice on the station's antenna. Sometimes the telemetry link between the field station and the recording lab experiences interference. Such noise is usually easy to distinguish from earthquake-generated signals because the noise is often "spikey" in appearance.
