Default Encountered an engine problem today - any ideas?

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. And only happens in a real good downpour of rain.

Driving my car today during a thundershower, I was in 5th gear when I tried to give it gas. Right around 2000-3000rpms the car just went blaaaahhhhhh! No power and the engine starting puttering.

Got to the stop sign and tried to go from a start in 1st gear and the car stalled.

This is has happened about 2 months ago when I was coming home from the Mazda Rev It Up on the highway. Same thing, tried to make a pass at 60mph and the car had no power.

Could it be there was so much humidity in the air and with my cold air intake? Or could it be the distributor and rotor getting wet?
