Whatsit called... Dust Devil

When there's a whirl of wind that lasts only seconds and then is gone, you know the ones that look like things whirling in a glass cylinder.
One "sprouted" around me, A, and the stroller and nearly spun the stroller out of my hands and onto its side. I also have to clean the stroller because it the wind deposited a good cup or more worth of crushed leaves and dirt into it.
I just can't find the name for it.

I have been given the answer.
They are Dust Devils, and the one I experienced was a small one though they can get very large.
