Probable alternator problem. The brushes may have died or the wiring to them failed. The only way to find out is to check the voltage output. The voltage regulator going would have fried all of the electricals, including boiling the battery into oblivion.
When you drive home, make sure all of the lights are off including the DRLs. No radio, fan, etc. And be sparse with the brakes and turn signals. No stopping for lunch! Lets hope you make it home.
