Default Ornage Battery light came on then the tachometer and speedometer started going crazy?

As I'm driving home from the gym tonight i hear a beep and notice my orange battery light is on and I see that my dash lights flicker a little bit.

Immediately, I start debugging the issue in my head: either my battery is dead or my alternator is dying and not allowing the battery to recharge. I keep the RPM's high to make sure the alternator is working so I don't die on the high way.

I then notice that my tachometer and my speedometer are wildly incorrect. I will drive froma red light and be moving and the tachometer and speedometer will be a 0 and then all of a sudden jump to whatever ile and hour I'm driving. It will do this over and over.

Whats going on here?
