There are different names out there that only meteorologists seem to know - occasionally one of them makes it into the news. Types of cyclonic wind movement - on a huge scale, based on water temperature, hurricane or typhoon. But then there are cyclones, a term used abroad but not the same as a tornado, and then there are the storms a friend in Illinois described as "an inland hurricane," and more. For example, a "derecho" has various forms but isn't (I think) quite the same as a series of storms full of tornadoes. I imagine any of these storms could pick up pebbles if it crosses over beaches or loose soil with lots of rocks in it.

This search at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US has links to various types of wind storms.
