Prior to landing, the pilot listened to the automated weather station which reported the wind out of the west at 8 knots; the pilot would land on runway 21 for a normal crosswind landing. During the landing roll, the right wing lifted suddenly, the left wing contacted the ground, and the airplane ground looped. The pilot then asked the air traffic controller what the wind was, the air traffic controller responded that the wind was at 14 knots, gusting to 19 and getting stronger. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the left wing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind, which resulted in a loss of directional control.
