Narrative:
The AWOS reporting winds at variable 5 KTS. Visibility greater than 10. I was set up for landing configuration; was in a stable approach and was in ground effect and at touch down a gust which was a wind shear to a crossing tail wind lifted the right wing and the nose pitched down - and the propeller evidently had a strike to the runway. Gained control of plane to avoid leaving the runway and taxied to the ramp for inspection. After shutdown witnessed all three blades had impact. If I had made a go-around decision earlier and went around I may have avoided this strike.
