The New Bloxia Earthquake of 2015 was a particularly strong quake that not only had an abnormally large rupture area and an abnormally small downdip rupture width, but also was the primary cause of problems in New Bloxia, including, but not limited to the 2015 Blackout.

History
Before May 31, lately the Eastern Robloxia Fault has been gaining more earthquakes of 3-4 magnitude, causing the fault to be more ruptured. Eventually, the earthquakes were upped, becoming 4-5 magnitude as more damage was caused around the Eastern Robloxia Fault. On the day of May 31, 2015, the Eastern Robloxia fault finally ruptured and caused an earthquake that was felt all around New Bloxia and other areas of Northeastern Robloxia, with the magnitude being a 6.5 earthquake as many buildings collapsed and trees downed. The Blox Electricity power plant nearby partially collapsed, causing a widespread transient fault in New Bloxia which later dispersed to other states of Northeastern Robloxia.
There were some building damages near a census designated place in New Bloxia.
Right when the 6.5 earthquake happened, the shaking was felt as far south as Romaryland as the Bloxington Monument slightly cracked; many Robloxians were surprised during the extreme earthquake as a capitol hill dome collapsed. At 1631, the Bloxington Monument partially gave way, collapsing partially as 24 fatalities were reported. Then, the earthquake stopped.
Meanwhile, an earthquake of unknown magnitude went undocumented as it hit a rural county in New Bloxia, collapsing middle schools, high schools, elementary schools and other parts of the county. Another widespread transient fault in New Bloxia which later dispersed to other states of Northeastern Robloxia occurred; Robloxians were unexpected for this, so there were fatalities; most of them only students at one of the schools.
Aftershocks caused shaking and other effects as far away as Baine.
