Laundryman - You weren't flying a PA-28 or something like, early afternoon just after 12:00pm? The one that took off before me had the same thing happen. I took the hint and was ready for it when I went for it a couple of minutes later!
Also around the same time another low wing aircraft had an exciting time at about 100 feet, a sudden gust blew it into a 30 - 40 degree right bank, this was quickly handled but looked quite 'interesting'.
