Narrative:

While landing on runway 2 at hagerstown with a crosswind from the left a sudden gust of wind from about 300 degrees lifted the left wing and tail resulting in collapse of the nosewheel the right wingtip and the propeller struck the concrete of the runway. This impact caused the propeller tips to bend, the right tip tank to rupture and, of course, engine stoppage. I was the only person in the airplane and had no injury. The airplane was towed to FBO on the airport.
