Rutan has now issued a really somber replace, revealing that roughly 90% of every little thing he and his spouse personal has been destroyed.
I would say we want Rutan and his household all the very best at the moment, however that seems like such a gross understatement. What Rutan and the remainder of everybody down south goes via proper now could be nothing wanting terribly tragic.
“We’re so grateful for all of the love and help that has come our means,” wrote Rutan. “The optimistic phrases, messages, texts and cellphone calls have meant a lot to us.

“90% of every little thing we personal together with private and household belongings, photographs, issues that may by no means get replaced in addition to musical and studio gear was both severely broken or utterly destroyed. This expertise has been tough past phrases. Nearly 3 weeks in the past I left the Cannibal Corpse tour to fly house to be with my Spouse, solely to see our house and all our belongings in damage.
“This has been one of the vital tough occasions of our lives. Proper now, we, in addition to many are struggling past measure. We labored so arduous our complete lives to realize what we have now solely to see all of it taken away in a fleeting second. I do not know how we are going to overcome all of this, however anybody that is aware of us is aware of that we’ll struggle our means again via sheer will and dedication to hopefully sooner or later reclaim some form of normalcy.
“As we attempt to decide up the items of our lives, please ship all of the optimistic power and vitality you’ll be able to. I’ll give additional updates when time permits. Everlasting Gratitude. RUTAN”
