Default hole in oil pan

Ok long story short, driving home in the pouring rain, hit a rock, something is making a noise like im dragging metal piece, look under my car, there is a little bumper piece under my car dragging and I have oil dripping out of a hole about the size of my litle finger, like i can put my finger in it, luckily I was about to come home to Tampa, so I coulda been stuck on I4, but who knows anything about repairing an oil pan temporarily? I heard JB weld works, but i dont know, any advice?? thanks!

jb weld, use break parts cleaner to clean all of the residue off first or else it wont work well.
