Narrative:
My student and I were coming to land at sus airport. We had the current ATIS information that said the winds were 170 degrees at 9 KTS. The tower changed the ATIS information, and the new winds were 170 degrees at 16 KTS gusting to 26 KTS, but no wind updates or notice that the ATIS was changed was given to us. I was able to get the aircraft on the ground, but a gust of wind picked the plane up off the runway. I was able to get the plane back on the ground, but the plane was blown to the far left of the ground where my student and I came to a stop. Both my student and I walked away with no injuries. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that the aircraft left the runway on the left side and struck the edge of a taxiway. The aircraft came to an abrupt halt and experienced a propeller strike and nose gear damage. The reporter also states that the FAA conducted an investigation and ruled that this occurrence was classified as an 'incident'.
