Althought not an electronics engineer, it sounds like you have each
device inputting data from 999 OTHER devices and processing that data. 
I question if that data processing can be done for less than $100 per
device.

What type of RF would be involved, and how many people would be alarmed
at that much RF in their neighborhood.

But a more basic question is what type of data do you expect each of
these 1000 devices to gather, and how often (more data means more
processing).  Although there may be some common "signal" that could be
detected (by some sort of device), such a signal has NOT YET BEEN
DESCRIBED. I may be wrong, but I can't recall any computer program that
is able to model tornadogensis. Even pressure drops occur without
tornadogensis.
