WHILE DOING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS THE PILOT OBSERVED A SQUALL LINE APPROACHING THE AIRPORT. HE PROCEEDED TO MAKE A FULL STOP LANDING AND WAS TAXIING TO OPERATIONS, WHEN A STRONG GUST OF WIND PICKED UP THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND FLIPPED IT OVER. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD CALLED MIAMI FLIGHT SERVICE ABOUT ONE HOUR PRIOR TO TAKEOFF AND WAS INFORMED THAT A LINE OF THUNDERSHOWERS WAS ADVANCING DOWN THE STATE BUT WAS NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE OPA LOCKA AREA UNTIL 1800Z. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE MISINTERPRETED THAT TIME TO MEAN 1800 LOCAL.
