Narrative:
On apr/xa/07 at approximately XA30 hours; we were doing a visual approach backed up with the ILS to runway 1. Conditions at the airport were; -RA with winds 330 degrees/12 KTS gusting 24 KTS. The airport control tower was closed and we were transmitting on the CTAF. Upon landing at the exact moment of our nose tire touching down our aircraft experienced a severe wind gust which weathervaned the aircraft approximately 40 degrees from the centerline of runway 1. Due to the wet runway; and the wind gust; it forced the aircraft into a hydroplaning situation. At the left side of runway 1 I was able to straighten out the aircraft but the nose of the aircraft was right over the runway edge lights. I immediately advanced the thrust levers and initiated a takeoff. Upon my nose clearing the ground I felt what appeared to be a slight bump; the bump felt like when you are striking the centerline lights while taking off. Upon cleaning up the aircraft myself and the other pilot had a brief discussion and it was determined that our best course of action was to divert to ZZZ1. Upon switching back to approach I declared an emergency due to the fact that I did not know if there was any damage to my landing gear. We landed without incident in ZZZ1. Upon inspection of the aircraft there was no apparent damage incurred. ZZZ was notified and the runway inspector stated that one of the runway edge lights' lens cover was broken.

Title: CE680 CAPTAIN REPORTS LOSING CONTROL WHILE LANDING IN STRONG GUSTY WINDS. ACFT WINDS UP STRADDLING THE RWY LIGHTS AND THE CAPTAIN ELECTS TO GO AROUND AND LAND AT ANOTHER ARPT.
Narrative: ON APR/XA/07 AT APPROX XA30 HRS; WE WERE DOING A VISUAL APCH BACKED UP WITH THE ILS TO RWY 1. CONDITIONS AT THE ARPT WERE; -RA WITH WINDS 330 DEGS/12 KTS GUSTING 24 KTS. THE ARPT CTL TWR WAS CLOSED AND WE WERE XMITTING ON THE CTAF. UPON LNDG AT THE EXACT MOMENT OF OUR NOSE TIRE TOUCHING DOWN OUR ACFT EXPERIENCED A SEVERE WIND GUST WHICH WEATHERVANED THE ACFT APPROX 40 DEGS FROM THE CTRLINE OF RWY 1. DUE TO THE WET RWY; AND THE WIND GUST; IT FORCED THE ACFT INTO A HYDROPLANING SITUATION. AT THE L SIDE OF RWY 1 I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE ACFT BUT THE NOSE OF THE ACFT WAS RIGHT OVER THE RWY EDGE LIGHTS. I IMMEDIATELY ADVANCED THE THRUST LEVERS AND INITIATED A TKOF. UPON MY NOSE CLRING THE GND I FELT WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SLIGHT BUMP; THE BUMP FELT LIKE WHEN YOU ARE STRIKING THE CTRLINE LIGHTS WHILE TAKING OFF. UPON CLEANING UP THE ACFT MYSELF AND THE OTHER PLT HAD A BRIEF DISCUSSION AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OUR BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO DIVERT TO ZZZ1. UPON SWITCHING BACK TO APCH I DECLARED AN EMER DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DID NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY DAMAGE TO MY LNDG GEAR. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT IN ZZZ1. UPON INSPECTION OF THE ACFT THERE WAS NO APPARENT DAMAGE INCURRED. ZZZ WAS NOTIFIED AND THE RWY INSPECTOR STATED THAT ONE OF THE RWY EDGE LIGHTS' LENS COVER WAS BROKEN.
