if the wind did stall
It did.
what should I have done?
NOSE
DOWN
A wing stalls for one reason, and one reason only...it has exceeded its critical angle of attack. There is one, and only one, control surface that controls angle of attack. The elevator.
NOSE
DOWN
Damage assessment:
The engine and it's firewall was ripped off, the canopy broke in two, the right side of the plane where the canopy would sit on is gone, and the left wing leading edge (about a foot) is gone. The firewall and fuselage I can repair (need to refab some parts). I'm more worried about the Left wing.
Sounds quite repairable. Some pictures would definitely help, but just from your description, seems like you should be able to remove the damaged portion of the left wing between ribs/ends, use existing ribs as templates, and away you go.
