Water Pump Woes and Warnings...

Hello everybody-
its been a while since I have had the time to check the BB's and a while since the old spg has broken. But, unfortunatly, today with only 10 minutes of warning time, We lost the waterpump, among other things.
about 2 hours from home, I heard what sounded like a belt squeal only for a bit, I have had alternator belts squeal on me for weeks before i could get around to changing them, but this time the squeal turned into a peice of metal flyin off my car at 65 mph and a rapidly climbing temperature gauge.
I had to pull over and check now =o(
Waterpump seized up en route and shook the alternator bracket right off the alternator and snapped both belts in the process. OUCH. Car is being repaired at Auto Clinic outside Cumberland, Maryland and I am in a rental for the week, 2 hours north. ick.
As a warning, dont let your waterpump seize! its nothing but bad bad bad.
Be careful out there.
