William,
It may be nothing more then a bad belt but it could also be a problem warning. Check that all items that the belt passes around, idlers etc move freely without any noise or binding.
If the compressor was beginning to have lube or wear issues and was binding heading to bearing failure it can cause the belt to throw as it heats up and binds. It may be nothing but pay attention to abnormal noise, clutch slippage leaving abnormal dust, or abnormal heating of the compressor or clutch. Poor cooling may be a telltale also. You save yourself some big headaches if you can get a compressor changed out before it actually fails freezing up and sending metal particles into the system. If you sense an issue with the compressor you can remove that belt and run with the roof airs and generator until you can have it changed out...Hope it is just a belt issue.
