Roger asked:
Did I damage my motor? Why would the belt have come loose 
if it was tight yesterday?  What should I do now? 
 
The belt shouldn't be too tight. You should be able to turn the generator/alternator fan with your finger. Having the belt too tight will actually cause it to come off.
 
Replace the belt with a new one and drive the car. That's really the only way to find out if you did something bad to the car.
