This is completely normal although not recommendable.
When the drive belt gets wet it starts slipping - then you loose power steering and charge from the alternator, which triggers the warning lights. After a while the belts have dried and start working normally again. It doesn't matter if the belt is tightly tebsioned- if water gets on the belt or the pulleys the belt WILL start slipping.

You might want to have your belts checked - but if they are okay I suggest you just don't drive through the deepest puddles, or if you have to drive through them, drive slowly.
