Tornadoes are not common in Maryland, though they are common in Kansas.
Kansas is part of a region called Tornado Alley.which has an ideal climatic setup for tornadoes. In the spring storm systems cause warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to collide with cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies, resulting in the formation of strong thunderstorms. About a mile off the ground a layer of stable air holds thunderstorm activity back, allowing instability to build underneath it. As a result when the storm break through the cap the instability will be enormous, leading to explosively powerful thunderstorms. At the same time wind speed and direction varies with altitude, which sets these storms rotating and also strengthens the updraft. This rotation combined with strong thunderstorm updrafts can then produce tornadoes.

Why do tornadoes mostly happen in new york?
They don't. Tornadoes do occur in New York, but they are relatively rare. The regions cool climate and less-than ideal setup of wind shear and instability means that tornadoes, especially strong ones, don't occur often.

They mostly happen in spring and early summer, with the most active months being April, May, and June.

Do tornadoes mostly happen at 3pm though 9pm?
Yes, tornadoes generally happen in that time range. That is because the air general has more energy stored at that time of day to power the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.
