Narrative:
We were taking off of runway xxl in ZZZ. I was flying. There was a right crosswind so I put right aileron and left rudder. As we started rolling; the plane started drifting right. I added left rudder and let out some of the right aileron. At around 60 KTS; a gust of wind lifted the right wing off the ground. The captain took the controls and aborted the takeoff. I told ATC that we had aborted and we exited the runway. We later took off of runway yy. The winds were very strong. I had partial; but not full; right ailerons during the takeoff roll. I do not have a lot of experience with high crosswind takeoffs or lndgs. I should have put right aileron and maybe reconsidered a takeoff from that runway because of the high crosswind. Supplemental information from acn 789753: it didn't look good. The aircraft was already a little right of centerline; the nose was pointing to the right and going that way. The abort was standard and occurred before 80 KTS. We pulled off the runway; did the abort checklists; called maintenance to confer with them. Dispatch was called later. After 20 mins; taxied back for takeoff. Once holding at the runway xxr; the wind started to pick up and we then taxied to runway yy for takeoff.

Title: SF340 FLT CREW ABORTS TKOF AFTER DRIFTING RIGHT OF CENTERLINE DUE TO STRONG CROSSWINDS AND NOT ENOUGH CORRECTION APPLIED.
Narrative: WE WERE TAKING OFF OF RWY XXL IN ZZZ. I WAS FLYING. THERE WAS A R XWIND SO I PUT R AILERON AND L RUDDER. AS WE STARTED ROLLING; THE PLANE STARTED DRIFTING R. I ADDED L RUDDER AND LET OUT SOME OF THE R AILERON. AT AROUND 60 KTS; A GUST OF WIND LIFTED THE R WING OFF THE GND. THE CAPT TOOK THE CTLS AND ABORTED THE TKOF. I TOLD ATC THAT WE HAD ABORTED AND WE EXITED THE RWY. WE LATER TOOK OFF OF RWY YY. THE WINDS WERE VERY STRONG. I HAD PARTIAL; BUT NOT FULL; R AILERONS DURING THE TKOF ROLL. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH HIGH XWIND TKOFS OR LNDGS. I SHOULD HAVE PUT R AILERON AND MAYBE RECONSIDERED A TKOF FROM THAT RWY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH XWIND. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 789753: IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD. THE ACFT WAS ALREADY A LITTLE R OF CTRLINE; THE NOSE WAS POINTING TO THE R AND GOING THAT WAY. THE ABORT WAS STANDARD AND OCCURRED BEFORE 80 KTS. WE PULLED OFF THE RWY; DID THE ABORT CHKLISTS; CALLED MAINT TO CONFER WITH THEM. DISPATCH WAS CALLED LATER. AFTER 20 MINS; TAXIED BACK FOR TKOF. ONCE HOLDING AT THE RWY XXR; THE WIND STARTED TO PICK UP AND WE THEN TAXIED TO RWY YY FOR TKOF.
