Blockfield is a large city located in the state of Bloxas and located in Weston County. It has a population of 8,765,200 people according to the 2010 census.
History
Blockfield was founded in 1798 as a small port in the south of Robloxia, in order to increase trade with neighboring countries. Due to its good location and stable climate, the port became a permanent settlement, which soon attracted hundreds of new settlers from all over the country. Over the years, the city grew from a small seaport in southern Robloxia to one of the largest cities in the planet. Eventually, over a period of several decades in the 20th century, several impressive skyscrapers, along with a highly developed road system linking the city to places all over Robloxia, were built in Blockfield and due to the relatively pleasant climate the city offers (despite its southern location). Several hotels were built, and beaches opened.
Geography and Climate
Blockfield is located on the southeastern coast of ROBLOXia, approximately 2,026 miles (3,242 km) south of the town of Brookhaven. The city lies directly adjacent to the coast, but extends about thirty miles inland, where the terrain slowly becomes higher as it approaches the Blockfield Valley, resulting in the construction of several suburbs of the city (especially those beyond Highway 85, which encircles the city) into hills. The city was also built next to a dormant fault, which was discovered in early 1998. Scientists estimate that the New Brickson fault last ruptured in 1630, long before Blockfield was founded, creating an earthquake that measured 8.7 on the Richter scale.
Blockfield's climate is continental, making summers quite warm and winters very cold. The highest temperature recorded in Blockfield was 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade), recorded in July 1986, while the lowest temperature was -32 Fahrenheit ( -36 degrees Centigrade), recorded in January 2002 and was attributed to a cold air blast caused by the 2002 Pine County Winter Storm. Severe weather can occur during the summer months, with frequent thunderstorms. The latest tornado occurred in 2008, when an EF0 touched down near the main runway at North Coast International Airport. The tornado traveled nearly a mile, before reverting back to a funnel cloud near Highway 58. The summer of 2008 was notable for being one of the warmest summers the city has ever witnessed and was also notable for bringing very severe weather to parts of southeastern ROBLOXia.
