REPORTEDLY, THE CESSNA PLT HELD SHORT OF THE RWY UNTIL THE JET HAD ROLLED ABOUT 1000 FT. AS THE CESSNA WAS TAXIED ONTO THE RWY, IT WAS BLOWN AROUND & SUBSEQUENTLY NOSED OVER. THE PLT WAS LISTENING TO THE ATIS WHEN HE HEARD THAT THE WINDS WERE FROM 190 DEG AT 29 GUSTING 40 KTS. HE HAD NOT RECEIVED A PREFLT WX BRIEFING.
