Anyone having wild power fluctuations?

Maybe it's only our neighborhood( we're in Oriente), but our power's going crazy the last few days! We've blown two power surge protectors, and I mean fried them but good. About 4 PM the last two days, we get this wild power surge, the fans start spinning like jet turbines, lights get really bright, and we hear a crackling which is the sound of the surge protector frying. Crazy.

When I lived in Tampico, our voltage would sometimes fluctuate as much as 50%. I had to buy a fairly expensive voltage regulator and a surge suppressor to protect my electronic gear. I haven't heard of wild power fluctuations like that in years.

Thanks, everybody, we had an electrician in, plus the CFE guys, and it was all outside wiring, plus they replaced the meter. Now we're lookin' good!
