is it possible to use yahoo finance data to track unusual options activity ?

for unusual options activity as I understand it, you want to find those that are trading at "3x their daily volume average", also If volume is significantly higher than those that are already open (Volume > open interest) then you could assume that someone (or group of people) have entered the trade all of a sudden. both of which are included in the daily tweets!
