I cannot figure out what happened here. Coincidental and perfectly timed local event, or a really weird EQ trace?
Thoughts?

For this case, I’d say a good coincidence with the second of two spin cycles (probably a washing machine) ending just at that time:
Sometimes, I’m honestly baffled by all the coincidences with earthquake arrival times. Washing machine cycles, doors/windows closing, steps/jumps from neighboring houses… I didn’t expect to see so many local human-caused events to match the arrival times of natural earthquakes.
Thanks Stormchaser. That is a good bet, given the time. I don’t normally see the washing machine cause this type or magnitude of signature in my home, but the timing is right. Perhaps I am seeing the imminent failure of the machine in a novel way!

No trouble, and let’s hope your machine will last a bit longer then!
Or maybe it is the neighbor’s that is reaching its end of service…
How about a helicopter fly-over coincident with an arrival of a natural event (M4.5 approximately 248 km (154 miles) distant)?

Well… I’d probably say that this one deserved to be framed.
It has a certain elegance to it.
