ANSWER: Yes and no. As long as there is a clear view between the DataStorm and the Satellite in the sky, you will receive the signal. Trees and buildings can be on both sides of this line of sight, but not directly in between. A general rule of thumb that works most of the time is, if the tree fell and could hit the DataStorm then it probably can block the signal.
