As a precaution and in part due to the recent landslides in Washington state, about 60 people were evacuated from their homes in Jackson, Wyo.

Some residents refused to evacuate their homes even though cracks were found in the only main road of the popular ski destination town. 

A slow-moving landslide caused concerns Wednesday evening after a water main broke and retaining walls cracked. Officials were concerned the landslide could pick up speed.

However, Friday a landslide expert said odds are low that a catastrophic collapse of the hillside would occur.

The expert, George Machan, assessed the area and said only one home, which is unoccupied, is in danger, as well as a restaurant and a pharmacy.

Some individuals were allowed to return to their homes while others will have to wait for further tests to be done Friday.

With the recent events in Washington, where at least 35 have died, officials are being as safe as they can be with the town of Jackson.

"I can't rule out that there will be a big lurch, but it's not likely," Machan said Thursday. 

The Red Cross is providing shelter and hotels for those who were evacuated.
