UPDATE: Electrician came. Within 10 minutes he diagnosed it. Basically when MidAmerican said everything was fine, they were wrong. I'm getting voltages ranging anywhere from 100 volts to 139 volts in various outlets, this means that the neutral line coming in to my house is damaged. In fact, turning on lights can swing it up to 30 V.

Calling Midamerican to come back and diagnose properly this time. Urgh.

I actually had the same problem at my house except the whole house either bright or dimmed at various levels along with the lights flickering. It was like the house was possessed. It scared me enough I went and pulled the breaker killing the power to the house. Took REC a little bit to figure it out but they did get it right the 1st time. In my instance the grounding wire connection had worked loose on the transformer. Glad they got it fixed for you before anything bad happened.

So you're sure nothing else is happening at one of your neighbors houses?

Thank you for the updates. You did a great job of staying with the problem until it got fixed. Always call the power company or an electrician when something changes with the normal functionality of your electrical service. Electrical issues are a major cause of house fires. We are glad that the problem was fixed and that you are safe. Go Clones.
