2 possibilities- either two belts broke, or the main pulley (aka. harmonic balancer) has failed.
I wouldn't worry about the alternator or water pump right now. They are both belt driven -actually, they are both driven by the same belts- but that's pretty much the only thing they have in common. It is highly improbably that they both failed simultaneously and independantly at the same time that horrible belt noises were being made.
If the belts are still there, I'd put my money on a harmonic balancer failure. The squealing noises at startup are a classic symptom of a failing H-B.
DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. IT WILL OVERHEAT QUICKLY, and then you're looking at BIG ($$$) TROUBLE.
