hood flew open !!

Last Saturday I was driving my dog back from the vet, it was raining ,whe all of a sudden wham !!! the hood pops up ! I automaticly droped my head to look under the hood to make suer I didnt hit any thing, its amazing how things happen so quickly,and came to a stop.
I noticed that the hood got bent a bit, and it would not close, I used ny dogs leash to tie it down (the Corps taught me to improvise.) and drove home
I thought I addjusted it right, but today "pop" goes the hood again! It didnt fly up like it did last time, but it opened , and thats not good.So............what can I do ? I didnt want to use hood pins but I dont want to be driving wondering if the hood will decided to open. any Ideas ?
