Your evidence is countered by Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. In it, Uther is already in Lordaeron and is shown fetching a young Prince Arthas. This is what is said:

''“A rider from Southshore has come and gone. He brings ill news. A few days ago, hundreds of small boats filled with refugees from Stormwind landed on our shores,” Uther said. He did not remove his arm. Arthas gave up that particular struggle and craned his neck, listening intently, his sea- green eyes wide and fastened on Uther’s grim face. “Stormwind has fallen.”''

''“What? Stormwind? How? To who? What—”''

''“We’ll find all that out shortly. The survivors, including Prince Varian, are being led by Stormwind’s onetime Champion, Lord Anduin Lothar. He, Prince Varian, and others will be coming to Capital City in a few days. Lothar has warned us he bears alarming news—obvious enough if something has destroyed Stormwind. I was sent to find you and bring you back. You’ve no business playing with the common folk at this moment.” ''

Now, if Uther was from Stormwind, he wouldn't say 'our shores' because saying 'our shores' implies that he consideres the land to be his, in the same way someone from a country or nation says this is 'our land'. (Not literal ownership, but more patriotic). This means he consideres Lordaeron to be his home.

If he had been from Northshire, or from Stormwind. Especially if he had left during the First War, he would know what had destroyed the Kingdom. He wouldn't need to 'find out' because he would already know, but he and the others in Lordaeron have no idea what happened to Stormwind, they are only just finding out now.
