Read the full NTSB narrative
While on landing roll, a 'whirlwind' was encountered which turned the aircraft 90 degrees collapsing the landing gear, which caused substantial damage to the airframe. The pilot was not current in landings, and the National Weather Service had issued an alert bulletin forecasting turbulence for the area.
