Default coloquial expression

I need to turn this expression into Spanish:

Thanks!

¡En nombre de Dios! ¿Cómo sobrevivió?
in the name of heaven is an expression. In spanish there are many, but are quite informal:
You can also say:
¿Cómo cuernos hizo para sobrevivir?
¿Cómo rayos hizo para sobrevivir?
¿Cómo diablos hizo para sobrevivir?

But remember! they are informal

Hope it helps!
