Before taking off this morning; I completed one final check of the weather in route to ZZZ. The forecast showed sky clear below 12;000 feet. About 1 hour and 45 minutes into my journey; I found clouds moving in below my flight path and in front of me. I checked the weather along the route and at my destination via ADS-B in the plane; and also tuned in the AWOS for ZZZ and other airports along my route. The ADS-B weather was still saying clear; but the AWOS reporting for airports were calling a low overcast forming. Realizing the weather was not getting better; I found a hole to get through the clouds; maintain contact with the ground; and landed at ZZZ1. After waiting for the weather to clear for 3 hours at ZZZ1; I took back off for ZZZ. The 38 miles flight over was slightly bumpy; but uneventful. I was cleared by Tower to land on Runway 32. I heard the Tower Controller give a wind check to the pilot who landed in front of me at 070 at 10; but winds were gusting. I descended on final with a right crab to counter the crosswind and added right rudder shortly before touchdown to straighten out the plane. The airplane touched down normally. After starting my roll out; the left wing suddenly dipped and the right wing rose. I was trying to counter with right rudder and aileron to straighten the plane out; but that caused it to nose over; causing a prop strike and a minor left wing tip scrape. I believe a strong wind gust hit the plane shortly after touchdown; causing the sudden raising/lower of the wings. I would like to review my control inputs with an instructor to find out anything I could have done differently.
C-172 pilot reported a ground strike caused by gusting winds on touch down.
