About 30 times normal is dangerous - iff you're exposed to it for an entire year of 30x normal.
Taking off from that, about 250,000 times normal is dangerous - if you're exposed to it for one whole hour.
If you did see a radiation meter jump to 100,000+ times normal, you should probably be moving very quickly away from it, and you'll be fine.
