HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Terry Miller was on a whirlwind tour after arriving in the U.S. from his home in Perth, Australia.

Friday morning he woke up in a Wichita motel, having spent the past days chasing storms from eastern New Mexico through western Kansas, even stopping to help a semi-tractor trailer driver whose rig blew over in 80 mph straight line winds northeast of Garden City.
