My '99 did the same thing. First time, it was raining really hard, got it towed to a garage. Mechanic said sometimes they will do this in heavy rain, and just put the belt back on ($70)! Second time, I drove over a medium to large sized puddle, and off it went. I was able to drive it home, and put a new belt on. The old one was a tiny bit stretched. Belts are only good for 3-4 years, so maybe that is the reason. Or, it could be: too loose or too tight, or your pulleys are not in-line.
good luck!

The serpentine belt and the tensioner on a 300 SE motor is part of the fan system that controls all of the smaller motors on the front of the engine. The serpentine belt helps turn the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and the fan. The tensioner is a pulley on this belt that helps to keep the belt tight enough to stay on, but not too tight to hinder operation.
