AWS - EC2 instances not showing up in console

I am trying to set up mongodb on and EC2 instance configured for EBS. I am following this MongoDB walkthrough. I created a new instance with the ec2 command line tool:

ec2-run-instances ami-05355a6c -t m1.large -b "/dev/xvdf=:200:false:io1:1000" -b "/dev/xvdg=:25:false:io1:250" -b "/dev/xvdh=:10:false:io1:100" --ebs-optimized true

and it says the instance is created. However, when I go to the aws console, it doesn't show up. Additionally, when I run:

ec2-describe-instances [instance id]

it prints out info for a running instance

RESERVATION r-5c259387c 6724431926739

What am I missing? Where is this instance being created? Why does it not show up in my list of instances?

You need to select the region you want to view in the aws console. You have created instances in region A and your console is displaying instances of region B. Select the region from the top right corner option to the left of 'support' option
