If the water was high enough to touch the crank pulley, the belts got wet
and were probably slipping. This in turn prevented the alternator from
spinning fast enough to handle the extra load. Did you hear any belt
screeching noises when you turned on the AC?

Check the belt tension, but don't overtighten them. If everything works
correctly after it all dries out, that was probably what happened.
