Compressor taken off line by protection circuit?... a wet poly-V-belt can cause compressor clutch slippage.

Is your engine compartment encapsulation pan intact?

Yes pan is intact.. like I said we had A TORRENTIAL storm

I MEAN STREETS WITH OVER 3 INCHES OF RAIN~ hehe

never saw something like it all of a sudden ac compressor kicked off. had to be humidity or wetness hitting something..,

Just water on the belt, I'm sure. Wouldn't worry about it if it doesn't recur under milder conditions.
