Touchdown on the numbers runway 32R. At the 200 ft mark of landing rollout; a sudden gust of wind from the left; lifted the left wing; and the right wing tip started scraping the pavement; inducing the start of a swerve to the left. Immediate left stick and right rudder were instituted; along with light feathering of left brake only because of weight removed from left tire. Left tire stayed in contact with pavement. Right wing raised after 70-75 feet; directional control reestablished with runway. No brakes were used once the rt. wing started lifting. When weight of plane was shifting back to both wheels the tail started to slowly raise. During the final 80 feet of rollout no brakes were used and as the aircraft lost momentum and rolled to a stop; the tail slowly raised (even with full back stick/elevator); and the aircraft slowly nosed over. No injuries of any kind to pilot. ATIS wind 320 @ 6kt. There is only 1 wind sock in the center of the airport. Light aircraft would benefit from windsocks near the end of the main runways at this class D airport.
Husky pilot experiences a gust of wind during landing causing the left wing to lift and the right wing to drag and a left swerve. Directional control is regained but the aircraft slowly noses over with full aft stick and no brakes applied.
