Here is a weather man sulution! I use this when i'm out chasing storms. Take some 2X4 and chicken wire! It will save your windows and pumpkins! Pretty much make a long box (rectangle), streach out some chicken wire on top and on the sides as a shield, and use it only when storms come.. The thicker the wire, the more it can hold up.

Sorry to here that. It is no fun. I've seen some hail in my days...almost exactly a year ago...

It hit here too, David. Our patch looked like a corn field with a big round crop circle in it. Jason said it best-very discouraging. We hope you and your families are ok- that's the most important thing.
