Not talking about a tornado, but gusts that can scatter loose items around. Would it be too hard on the engine?

That would be really annoying at merchants who have their store out in the open like 188.
Imagine coming there and seeing all [censored] fly off the shelves and no one bothers to pick it up.
Every outside location with nicely stacked items would look horrible after a while.

It's probably feasible, just not very practical IMO.
